Choosing Canvas Art Colour: It's In Our DNA!
We don't mean to be rude, but you are a primate. So are we, and it's very useful for choosing the colour of your canvas art!
One benefit of being an higher ape, apart from being (in most cases) highly intelligent, is that we are very sensitive to subtle differences in colour. Specifically, we have trichromatic colour vision, which enables us to distinguish red from green. Very useful if you're deciding between our Valencia I and Valencia II canvas prints, for example! It also means we're really good at picking between subtle reds and oranges.
The reasons for this speciality are still debated amongst biologists. It was long held that this enabled us to tell the difference between ripe and unripe fruit. Now, it has been found this type of vision also enables us to easily detect blushing and fear in the faces of mates and rivals. However, there may be an alternative...
Let us throw the Canvas Republic hat into the ring here and posit a third theory. Choosing the correct canvas art in the perfect colour is a strong, primal urge amongst modern humans. The desire to choose a beautiful stretched canvas print, in a stunning colour that coordinates perfectly with an interior is a powerful and instinctive drive.
We speculate that our subtle colour vision evolved much more recently than scientists think, probably since Canvas Republic have been creating vibrant and stylish canvas art.
This trait has enabled humans to better style their homes with impressive canvas prints. A home adorned with amazing artwork is a sure sign to rivals and mates alike that its owner is a prosperous, powerful and ferile individual, with exceptionally appealing genes!
So you heard it here first. Humans have recently evolved to appreciate the subtle toning of our exclusive range of canvas art! Why not get ahead of the competition and choose your own custom colour scheme? Most of our designs can be recoloured to your own colours, and we can help you pick if you're unsure. Email us for more details.
As for the theory, we won't hold our breath for a Nobel prize...
