deccol

Deccol is a term used to describe a type of coloration in art and design that involves a reduction or subtraction of color. Unlike traditional additive color mixing, which involves combining colors to create new hues, deccol focuses on the removal or subtraction of color from a base color. This technique is often used to create a sense of depth, contrast, and subtlety in artwork. Deccol can be achieved through various methods, including the use of color filters, subtractive color mixing, and the application of color washes or glazes. Artists may use deccol to create a monochromatic effect, to emphasize certain elements in a composition, or to achieve a specific mood or atmosphere. The term "deccol" is not widely recognized in the art world, but it is gaining traction among artists and designers who appreciate the unique aesthetic and technical possibilities it offers.
