Which option correctly shows the psychological effect of colour and balance?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Intense dark red on one side can increase visual heaviness
The governing concept is visual weight: value, saturation, hue, size, and placement affect how balanced a composition feels. A saturated dark red area can attract attention and appear visually heavy, especially when placed alone on one side; therefore A is correct. Balance can influence mood, so B is false. C incorrectly says pale colour is always heaviest, and D reverses the usual effect of dark value.
