Between the colors that start with t there are turquoise, litmus, terracotta or tangerine. Colors, beyond being the main work tool of many graphic and interior designers, are a fundamental part of life.
Each color has different tonalities that come from multiple sources, for example, pigments of natural rocks or the reflection of the light of objects and even of the living beings .
