Color theory is the art of combining colors based on the color wheel, an organized illustration of the primary, secondary, and tertiary colors. Remember that color isn't permanent, and can frequently be changed, but getting it right the first time is always a much simpler approach.If you’re studying fine arts or design as part of a liberal arts degree program, it’s important for you to have a solid command of color theory. Use paint samples and fabric swatches, and live with them for several days to see the effect of light and shadow. Start slowly when designing with color for the first time. With one piece of art tying the colors together, this can create a harmonious effect in the room.
Use a favorite print, tapestry or photograph and pull colors from within it for the walls, floor, ceiling and fabrics. Wall art can be a wonderful jumping off point for color design in a space as well. Pay attention to what the space is telling you as well tone up or down the color or temperature to enhance the size of the room. Pick one color that you feel works well in the space and try pairing it with its complementary color, or an analogous color to see the effect. Your favorite colors make a great starting point to jump off of. There are several ways to go about selecting the colors for your home. Tone down to a cream or light tan instead and inject your yellow into prints, dish towels and kitchen backsplash tile. You may want a bright, cheerful yellow kitchen, but if your kitchen is already strongly lit with sun and/or fluorescents, painting the walls yellow might be a little overwhelming. Take your personal feelings into account, but look at the room itself as well. With green, some might see it as an envious, jealous color, while it reminds others of the natural world.
Some may see blue as a depressing color, while others think of the ocean. Remember that many people specific colors that they love and hate. If you are aiming for a more energetic room, like a kitchen or living room, decorate with yellows and reds to amp up the energy of the space If you are aiming for a peaceful, calming space, like a bathroom or bedroom, decorate in blues and greens using soft, soothing shades. It's important when learning the basics of color design to know what emotions certain colors evoke. Colors can provide an emotional reaction, especially in decorating.
