4. There are different color
schemes are used in layouts of
rooms as well as furnishing
those are :
Monochromatic colour scheme
A monochromatic colour scheme consists of different values
(tints and shades) of one single colour. These colour
schemes are easy to get right and can be very effective,
soothing and authoritative . They do, however, lack the
diversity of hues found in other colour schemes and are less
vibrant.
Analogous colour scheme
Analogous colours are colours that are adjacent to each
other on the colour wheel. Some examples are green, yellow
green, and yellow or red, orange and yellow. Analogous
colour schemes are often found in nature and are pleasing to
the eye. The combination of these colours give a bright and
cheery effect in the area, and are able to accommodate
many changing moods. When using the analogous colour
scheme, one should make sure there is one hue as the main
colour.
Complementary colour scheme
Complementary colours are colours that are opposite each
other on the colour wheel, such as blue and orange, red and
green, purple and yellow. Complementary colour schemes
have a more energetic feel
The high contrast between the colours creates a vibrant look,
especially when used at full saturation. Complementary
colours can be tricky to use in large doses.
Split-analogous colour scheme
A colour scheme that includes a main colour and the two
colours one space away from it on each side of the colour
wheel. An example is red, blue, and violet.
5. Split-complementary colour scheme
A colour scheme that includes a main colour and the two
colours on each side of its complementary (opposite) colour
on the colour wheel. These are the colours that are one hue
and two equally spaced from its complement. To avoid
fatigue and maintain high contrast, this colour scheme should
be used when giving PowerPoint presentations, or when
using a computer for an extended period of time. Additionally,
certain colours should not be mixed, like red and green.
Colours that should be used are red/violet and yellow/green.
Triadic colour scheme
A colour scheme in which 3 colours of equidistant distribution
on the colour wheel are used, e.g., red, blue, and yellow.
Tetrad colour scheme
Tetrads (or quadrates) are any four colours with a logical
relationship on the colour wheel, such as double
complements.
Neutral colour scheme
A colour scheme that includes only colours not found on the
colour wheel, called neutrals, such as beige, brown, gray,
black and white.
Accented neutral colour scheme
A colour scheme that includes neutral colours, like white,
beige, brown, grey, light brown or black, and one or more
small doses of other colours. e.g. brown and beige with blue,
gray and black with red.
Warm and cool colour schemes
Warm colour schemes do not include blue at all, and
likewise, cool colour schemes do not include red at all. For
example, a colour scheme that includes "warmer" colours
may have orange, yellow, and red-orange in it. "Cooler"
colours are green, violet, light blue, etc.
