As a designer I know that a color is more than the reflection of light from an object meeting our eyes. Color conveys motion, affects people’s moods, attracts attention, organizes content, emphasizes elements, invokes a psychological reaction and tells a story.

Photographer Daniel Seung Lee shows his understanding of the power of color through his Crayola Theory project. The project is a literal representation of Crayola’s crayon titles. Lee takes Crayola color to a new level using physical objects and harmoniously matching each color’s hex code.

Here’s a list of some of my Crayola favorites that I would love to see photographed:

• asparagus, #87A96B
• atomic tangerine, #FFA474
• cotton candy, #FFBC9
• electric lime, # CEFF1D
• fuzzy wuzzy, #CC666
• macaronic and cheese, #FFBD88
• outerspace, #414A4C
• tickle me pink, #FC89AC
