Colour
is an "instant" way to make things happen to a room and colour, as
such, costs almost nothing. It is just a matter of choosing those
shades and hues which best "express" your style and creates the
atmosphere you like.
In the main, colour schemes can be..... |
| Harmonious |
The arrangement of two or more colours in their natural order..ie. yellow, yellow-green, green. |
| Discordant |
Adds brilliance or emphasis in small quantities, but is garish in large areas...ie. orange and purple. |
| Contrasting |
Opposites on the colour wheel...ie. red and green. |
| Complementary |
Opposites on the colour wheel, but not directly opposing....ie. orange - yellow and blue. |
| Achromatic |
Harmonies using only neutral colours. The harmony may be composed of black and white or any tint between them ( greys ). |
