Inhabitants

Caroline Cotto

With “Inhabitants”, Caroline drew inspiration from the color of people: their clothing, accessorizes and skin. Inside the circle, she captured as much skin color and clothing as possible at different locations, at different times. She made a collection of 70 shades with the help of Madrilians in the area of Legazpi. It highlights differences between people and aims to give a dynamic and authentic meaning to colors. “Tones S” show the way sunlight affects the skin color. “Tones C” emphasize on the vibrant and dynamic character of the city through a complete color range, which is a beautiful clothing diversity. Together, the color swatches provide a rich and endless range of possibilities. Caroline presented the samples in three different ways: in a book, as postcards and as a color chart to be used for future design in the city. The extraordinary banality of the passer by in the street is extremely powerful and shows the colors of life.
