COLOUR THEORY

The colour wheel is an essential decorating tool. Use it to find a synergy between the colours you like and colours that harmonize with them.

COOL COLOUR S

The colour wheel can be divided in half, with warm colours on one side and cool colours on the other. The colours that appear beside green, blue and violet are cool. With associations to the sea, sky and sheltering foliage, they can be used to good effect in rooms that call for relaxation and calm, such as bedrooms, bathrooms and workspaces. Cool colours are recessive and create an illusion of pushing back walls, thereby making a small room look larger. Use cool colours in sunny rooms to counterbalance the effects of direct sunlight.

COLOUR TERMS

HUE

Hue is simply another word for colour. It is the quality that distinguishes one colour family from another.

TINT

A tint is a variation of any colour mixed with white and is therefore lighter than the original colour, with low saturation.

Reds, oranges and yellows are universally associated with the warmth of the sun and fire and naturally heat up a room. These colours are a good choice for kitchens, dining rooms, living rooms, and playrooms. Warm colours tend to ‘advance’ and can make rooms appear smaller, this makes them ideal for making larger spaces feel more cozy.

UNDERTONE

The subtle underlying colour of a hue is its undertone. Olive Green is green with an undertone of yellow.

WARM COLOUR S

GREEN

YELLOW-

RED RED-ORANGE ORANGE

YELLOW- ORANGE

BLUE-VIOLET

RED-VIOLET VIOLET

MONOCHROMATIC

The simplest of harmonies, monochromatic schemes use various tints, tones and shades from the same hue.

COLOUR HARMONIES

ANALOGOUS

A blended scheme incorporating two or more colours that sit in adjacency on the colour wheel.

COMPLEMENTARY

A complementary scheme uses colours that appear directly opposite or nearly opposite on the colour wheel.

TRIADIC

A triadic scheme includes any three equally spaced colours on the colour wheel.

SATURATION

Saturation is the intensity, brightness or purity of a colour in relation to grey. The most saturated colour is intense and pure with no grey.

SPLIT COMPLEMENTARY

A split-complementary combination is one colour paired with two colours on either side of the original colour’s direct complement.

DOUBLE COMPLEMENTARY

Double complementary harmonies feature two sets of complementary colours that sit next to and across from each other on the colour wheel.

SHADE

This is the result of adding black to any colour to create a darker version of the original colour.

TONE

Tones are created by adding both black and white to a colour and are softer in appearance than a pure colour.

HARMONIES

Colour harmony ensures that a room will not only look good but that it will feel good too. To achieve the best results, include the colours of your furnishings and accessories alongside your paint.

ANALOGOUS

Using hues that sit next to each other on the colour wheel creates a scheme that’s easy on the eye. Here, a cool mint and calm blue on panelled walls with accents of lavender make for a relaxed and tranquil bedroom.

Make a statement in kitchens with the combination of a confident orange and a complementary blue. Crisp white tiled walls and counters serve as the perfect companion to enhance this striking colour combination.

MONOCHROMATIC

Subtle and sophisticated, a monochromatic scheme is a great way to bring interest into a small kitchen. Here, base cabinets in a white with a hint of blue harmonize with a mid-blue wall feature and a splash of a stronger blue as an accent to furniture.

SPLIT COMPLEMENTARY

While it may seem tricky, with the help of the colour wheel, a split complementary scheme is simple and the results can be stunning. For a perfect finish we suggest using a trio of hues with a similar level of saturation. Create this contemporary living room update with natural green walls and a soft pink and warm yellow on cabinets.
