The color wheel can help you in choosing a color scheme for a room or your entire home by visually illustrating various color harmonies.
|
|
Monochromatic A monochromatic color scheme uses tints and shades of the same color. It creates a look that is sophisticated and elegant. |
|
|
Complementary A complementary color scheme includes the two colors that oppose each other on the color wheel. Complementary colors enhance one another, adding interest and energy to the decor. |
|
|
Split Complement A split complement color scheme combines hues to the left or right of its complement on the color wheel. |
|
|
Triad Triad color schemes include any three colors that are equally spaced on the color wheel (red-orange, yellow-green, blue-violet). When a triad color scheme is used, one shade is dominant, another is a secondary color, and the third is an accent color. |
|
|
Analogous An analogous color scheme uses consecutive colors on the color wheel (yellow, yellow-orange, orange) to create a pleasing palette. A normal execution of this scheme is to use one color more than the other two.
