Which model is used to study a set's dimensions and structure with no color, often before color planning?

• A. Black Box Model
• B. White Model
• C. Grey Model
• D. Color Model

Answer: (B)

Focusing on form, proportion, and how the set pieces relate in space is best done with a white model. By keeping surfaces plain and color-neutral, designers can judge dimensions, mass, and the relationships between elements without color or texture drawing attention away. This kind of model lets you test sightlines, scale, and how lighting will carve shapes, all before any color planning takes place.

Other approaches aren’t ideal for this purpose. A color-oriented model introduces hues and finishes that can distract from the actual geometry. A black or grey model isn’t used primarily to study dimensions before color planning in the same way; they’re associated with different aims, such as focusing on light, shadow, or tonal studies, rather than establishing the basic structure and scale.
