137Color, Particles, andSensory Spaces
your client’s preferences will help you avoid the pitfall of picking a color the client hates for your virtual
world design, and it will also help build a basic color framework to expand your palette. Not all clients can
tell you what color cerulean blue is, but if you show them a cerulean-based palette, they may like it. Perhaps
the rst thing you should do is to ask your client to name a few of his or her favorite colors. You can also
look for the client’s color preferences in what he or she is wearing. If the client only wears black, be bold.
That powerful color goes well with red and blue, as well as silver and gold, so try that combination if you are
designing a personal space for that client.
