COLORS
The color wheel offers the easiest way to visualize how hues relate to each other.
Traditionally these three colors, red, yellow, and blue are defined
as the three primary colors from which all others on the wheel
can be mixed.
For decorating decisions, you only need to be aware that
purple relates to both red and blue and that green derives
from yellow and blue.
Those relationships mean the colors will harmonize with each other.
The color wheel generally shows the pure hues of colors: red, blue, and green. In
decorating, however, you're more likely to be using tints (lighter) and shades
(darker) values of a color. For example, you may not use an intense green in a room;
you're more likely to go with a soft sage or a deep hunter green instead.
Colors that lie opposite each other on the wheel are complementary. When colors
are paired, each one makes the other appear more vivid.
Hues that lie beside always look good together because they share a common hue.
Triads are any three equally spaced colors on the wheel. These yield a lively yet
balanced combination, but the scheme could feel a little unsettling unless you let
one color dominate and use the other two in lesser amounts or as accents.
Half of the color wheel, from red to yellow-green, is
considered warm, stimulating, and advancing.
The other half of the wheel is described as cool. A
small room may benefit from visually opening up
the walls with a cool, or receding, paint color such
as blue, green, or purple.
Light and medium colors live most comfortably with
each other, but to keep a light-value scheme from
becoming boring, include an accent of a darker value. In a
room decorated in light blue and light yellow, for example, a touch of deep blue will
round out the scheme and give the room depth.
Low intensity colors usually create a calm mood that's subtle and serene.
High intensity colors create more energy and can feel dynamic or richly elegant,
depending on the specific colors and the style of your furnishings.
The key to successful color scheming is balance. Strong colors call for strong
partners. Yellow walls, for example, demand an equally intense navy blue or red to
create a balanced color scheme.
