Basics of color combinations
The combination of colors is desirable to choose using the color wheel, which includes the main additional and auxiliary colors. Designers have developed many techniques for combining them, the use of various schemes. You can use:
- monochrome;
- adjacent;
- contrast;
- triadic.
Monochrome interiors assume the use of monochromatic color schemes where different shades of the same color are used. Due to the smooth transition of colors, the interior always turns out to be calm and soft, giving peace of mind. This option can always be diluted:
- white;
- black
- silver flowers.
Adjacent colors are those that are located in the adjacent color wheel. But one of the colors should be dominant, and the second should be used for accentuation. Such combinations create a relaxed and harmonious atmosphere.
Contrasting consists in using spectrally opposite shades, for example:
- blue and orange;
- red and green;
- yellow and purple.
Such combinations are very bold. The finished interior is always bright and extraordinary, but can quickly get bored. Therefore, these combinations are best embodied in the details, which, if desired, will be easy to change.
The triad scheme is a combination of three colors of the color wheel that are at the same distance from each other. Of these, you need to choose one main rest will be auxiliary.
