COLOR THEORY

ALEXIS LUNDY, KELSEY FISHER, BETH OTTO

Untitled Slide

The color wheel is organized into a circular spectrum of hues that shows the relationship of each hue to another. Color harmonies demonstrate the patterns in these hues.

Untitled Slide

All colors on the spectrum may be made from primary colors. Although primary colors may not be created.

Untitled Slide

Secondary colors may be made from the neighboring primary colors. This is why they are in between each primary color.

Untitled Slide

Tertiary colors are made from mixing a primary and a secondary color that this tertiary color is in-between on the color wheel.

Untitled Slide

The color wheel may be divided in half : warm and cool colors.

Untitled Slide

Warm colors make an interior feel warm, oozy, and inviting.

Untitled Slide

Cool colors make a room feel calm or soothing.

Untitled Slide

Neutral colors give interiors a clean or sophisticated feel. *note, an interior may be mostly neutral with pops of color for interest.

Untitled Slide

Monochromatic colors are the same hue, only variated by adding black or white making various shades, tints, or tones.

Untitled Slide

Not everything in the room has to be a share of green. To get the monochromatic effect, a bold green is used on large items that are close in proximity.

Untitled Slide

Analogous color schemes are colors that are next to each other on the color wheel.

Untitled Slide

Again, not everything in the interior has to be teal or lime. The furniture against the lime wall demonstrates a chic analogous color scheme without looking tacky.

COMPLEMENTARY

Colors that are directly across from one another on hue he color wheel are analogous.

Untitled Slide

Notice how not everything in the room has to be one of the two colors in the scheme. Throwing in other neutral colors helps the room look put together and not overwhelming.

TRIAD

Colors in equal distance from each other on the color wheel

Untitled Slide

The triad color scheme is mixed with neutral colors leaving the room looking simple and not overwhelming with lots of color.

Untitled Slide

A color scheme using one color, and then the colors on either side of its compliment. In this example: purple, yellow green, and yellow orange.

Untitled Slide

We know this color combination works in an interior because it is a color theory. The colors do not fight with each other and make the room more interesting.

WHY DO WE USE COLOR THEORIES IN INTERIORS?

  • To organize colors in their likeness
  • To use colors we know will work well together
  • To portray intended emotions of like colors
  • To evaluate parts of a room that cannot be changed and design from there
