Colour is an important part of life it stimulates and guides or moods
and emotions.
Selecting the correct colours and paint effects for your project can be
a daunting task without suitable guidance from a professional.
We can help you choose a suitable colour scheme based on related or complementary
colours which will make any room feel fresh and new again.
Try out our colour wheel
opposite to show you how the relationship between the different
colours affects the overall style and feel of a room.
Select by clicking on primary, secondary, related, complementary
or neutral colours and see how they relate to one another.
Click on primary, secondary, related, complementary
or neutral colours above to view their relationships to each other
on the colour wheel.
Related colours
are those next to one another on the colour wheel. Designers often build
colour schemes around two or three related colours.
Complementary colours
are located opposite each other on the colour wheel. Blue, for example,
is the complement of orange. Complementary colours enhance each other in
decorating schemes.
Neutral colours
are shades of white, grey or beige. Most neutrals are tinted slightly
with a warm or cool colour. Neutral-coloured walls provide a backdrop
that does not compete with furnishings and accessories.
Room Colour Tester
If you would like to experiment with the colours within a room try our
colour tester below. Use the sliders by left clicking on them and dragging
the mouse left or right while holding the left mouse button down. By adjusting
the Red, Green and Blue colour values you can get
a feel for how a particular colour scheme will
look. This can help you when choosing the colours for your room. e.g.
try the values below as an example. If you can't select the exact values
you want right mouse click on the sliders and select ZOOM IN from the
popup menu, it will then be easier to select the values you want. Once
finished setting the values right mouse click the sliders again and select
show all. (Requires Flash 5)
