Color & Finish Harmony
Harmony of the product's colors and finish layers to serve its aesthetic unity
The five levels
Each anchor describes what separates one level from the next — not a general description of quality. This is the text the evaluator itself reads.
-
Level 1 Below Standard
Clashing colors and finishes that distract the eye
Example Excess gloss beside matte with no logic
-
Level 2 Approaching
Partial harmony with one element breaking the unity
Example Harmonious colors broken by a stray finish
-
Level 3 At Standard
Harmonious color and finish giving the product unity
Example The product looks harmonious in color and sheen
-
Level 4 Above Standard
Color and finish expressing the product's personality
Example A color choice distinguishing the product and known by it
-
Level 5 Exemplary
Exceptional harmony making color and finish part of the product's story
Example The finish tells of the materials' origin and the making's journey
