Understanding Color Schemes: A Visual Guide
A color scheme is a selection of colors you decide to put together. There are lots of color schemes:
- Monochromatic: Using various shades of one color for harmony. (Think shades of blue in a bathroom).
- Analogous: Choosing colors next to each other on the color wheel. (Green, yellow-green, and yellow for a cheerful kitchen).
- Complementary: Two colors directly opposite on the color wheel creating a dramatic effect. (Blue and orange in a living room).
Which option makes your heart sing?
Color Psychology: Feeling the Colors
Each color can communicate various emotions and meanings. It is powerful.
- Red: Passionate, stimulating, energy-boosting.
- Yellow: Uplifting, cheerful, creative, happy
- Blue: Calm, relaxing, peacefulness
- Green: Renewal, calm, growth

Exterior Semi-gloss | High weather resistance | Looks great on a wooden home exterior | Durable | Pricey |
Interior eggshell | Medium finish | Gives a room some shine, but won't clash with modern or retro-themed décor | Moderately priced | Might need a few coats |
