The document provides information about color theory, including definitions of hue, value, intensity and the color wheel. It also describes different color schemes (monochromatic, complementary, triadic, analogous, split complementary). Additional sections cover creating color schemes, general moods created by different colors, and planning considerations for interior spaces like living rooms. Specific requirements are outlined for drawing a schematic living room design.

3. Hue ‐ name of a color
Value ‐ refers to the lightness or darkness of a hue or color
light values ‐ tints
dark values ‐ shades
Ex. dark red of a macopa is a shade of red
delicate pink of a rose is a tint
Intensity ‐ quality of brightness or dullness of a color
Ex. blue ‐ might be a bright blue
more gray ‐ duller
Primary colors = red, yellow, blue
= they are the source of all colors
Secondary colors = are combinations of a primary and a secondary color
Ex. yellow green, blue green, blue violet, red orange, yellow orange,
red violet

4. COLOR SCHEMES:
1. Monochromatic
shades + tint of a color e.g. green, light green, dark green
shade = color + black
tint = color + white

5. COLOR SCHEMES:
2. Complementary
color + complement (in tones) e.g. red and green

6. COLOR SCHEMES:
3. Triadic
3 colors equidistant from each other e.g. violet, green, orange

7. COLOR SCHEMES:
Analogous ‐ makes use of a series of adjoining colors in the color wheel;
contains one color in common
Ex. yellow green, green, blue green

8. COLOR SCHEMES:
Split Complementary ‐ it makes use of any color on the color wheel with the
colors on both sides of its opposite on the circle
Ex. green, red violet, red orange

10. CREATING A COLOR SCHEME:
1. Choose a main color which pleases you and use this for a
dominant furnishing item.
2. Choose an accent color from the opposite side of the color
wheel, as complement or contrast.
3. Link these two together with any neutral color like off-white,
cream, beige, grey, fawn, ecru, etc.
4. Different colors create different moods.
Warm colors (red, orange, yellow) and cool (green, blue, violet)
colors describe the visual temperature created by these groups.
However, it is important to stress that we are generalizing for
a color is a personal thing; color means different things to
different people; for instance, red maybe lively or threatening.

11. GENERAL MOODS CREATED BY COLOR
A. RED - rich, welcoming but can be over-aggressive
B. PINK - (red and white) - retains the warmth of red but it is also
delicate and dainty.
C. BLUE - tranquil, used to calm down but may need contrasting
warm touches to prevent a chilly feeling.
D. ORANGE, TAN, GOLDEN BROWN - warm cozy colors;
deeper brown needs offsetting with brighter colors to avoid
drab effect; bright orange is admirable for color accents but
tiring if surfaces are large.
E. YELLOW - has good light reflecting qualities; used to brighten
dingy rooms.
F. GREEN - cool, spacious color except when they veer towards
yellow shades, when they become warm.
G. PLUMS AND VIOLETS - have a formal, almost regal
association which makes them difficult to apply in homes but
the paler versions, the mauves can be pleasantly delicate

12. In planning for interior spaces, the following have to be considered:
1. Purpose of the room
2. Requirements of the structure
3. Character of the structure.
4. The interior design concept.
5. Availability of materials and existing furnishing
6. Budget
7. Trends and fashions

13. LIVING ROOM
Planning Considerations:
1. Provision of area, adequate floor and wall space for furniture
grouping.
2. Maximum flexibility.
3. Segregation of traffic ways from center of activities.
4. Ease of access.
5. Doors in constant use should be placed so that the traffic between
them will not interfere with furniture groups.

14. FURNITURE GROUPINGS:
1. Primary conversation group (around a fireplace maybe)
2. Secondary conversation group (usually at the end of a room or at
a corner)
3. Reading groups
4. Writing or study groups
5. Music group
6. Game group
7. TV group

15. DRAWING REQUIREMENTS
1. Schematic Design of floor plan showing furniture arrangement on
bond paper
2. Schematic (elevations, maybe rough perspective)
3. Floor plan (final) @ scale 1:80 m (tracing paper) and reflected
ceiling plan
4. Three elevations
5. Furniture details, at least 3 and 4 (plan, side views, front view)
6. Perspective, 15”x20” illustration board, rendered in watercolor with
any convenient scale
7. Design Criteria and Swatches (15”x20”)
