Colors stimulate our nervous system, influence mood, and provoke reactions. Our Open for Ball Hogg on Netflix arouses one main emotion. Anticipation. A union of pleasure and anxiety.

Holding the tension of uncertainty, heavy black backgrounds exude the suspense and stress of delay while maintaining edgy charisma.  Blue light strobes the audience with energy generated from its shorter wavelength, known to raise reaction times and alertness. Red, which studies show can increase heart rates and blood pressure, is also perceived as a loud trumpet in major key.  The scarlet saturated curtain and typeface balance the color palate, but ramp up the affective intensity.  The integration of these colors explodes in the anticipation you sense waiting for a favorite performer to take center stage.
