  1. COLOR SCHEMES • Certain colors used together in design • There are seven basic color harmonies

  2. MONOCHROMATIC • Based on a single hue and is the simplest color harmony • Variation is achieved by changing the value and intensity of a hue and by adding neutral accents • Makes a room appear larger and unified

  3. ANALOGOUS • Combines three to five adjacent related hues on the color wheel • Look best when one color is dominant • Examples: • Yellow, yellow orange, orange • Green, blue-green, and blue

  4. PG 116 COMPLEMENTARY • Combining two hues that are directly opposite each other on the standard color wheel • Makes the colors appear more intense • Examples • Red/green, yellow/purple, orange/blue

  5. SPLIT COMPLEMENTARY • Combining one hue and the two hues on each side of its complement • Examples • Red orange/ green/ blue • yellow/blue-violet and red-violet

  6. TRIADIC • Combination of any three colors that are of equal distance from each other • The most common is the three primaries: red, blue and yellow • This can be tricky because of the sharp contrast • Example: purple, orange, green

  7. DOUBLE COMPLEMENT • Combines two sets of color complements • Examples: • Red/green and blue/orange File #: 4482480

  8. Made by using combinations of black, white and gray Shades of cream, brown, tans and beiges may also be used If it is one of any of these colors it is still considered a neutral color scheme NEUTRALS File #: 9290653

  9. COLOR DECISIONS • Consider color harmonies that happen in nature • Ex: earth tones • Think about the fabric you want to use or a painting you want to hang in the room • Pull colors from these samples • Some places are able to match paint colors directly to samples • Always choose a dominant color • Sometimes and equal amount of colors is overwhelming
