The Paint Color Wheel

A color wheel will help you to figure out which colors will mix harmoniously, fit better for your exterior home painting, for example, and what combination to avoid. Similarly, a color palette will ease your interior painting decision, based on the same principle.

• The primary colors: red, blue and yellow are combined (in sets of two) to make three secondary colors.For example, red and yellow produce an orange; yellow and blue result in a green; red and blue combine to make a purple.

• Tertiary colors are a result of mixing a primary color with a secondary color.

• An interior design tool, a color wheel, shows a number of colors in a circle. The colors close to each other complement themselves well, while the opposites are great for creating contrasts.

• There are two types of colors: warm and cool. Warm colors are reds, oranges, yellows and browns. Cool colors are greens, blues and purples.

• Warm colors will make the room feel cozy and inviting, as well as absorbing more heat.

• Cool ones will make a room look bigger and brighter, especially if you are choosing a lighter shade. Additionally, they will help you relax and focus (think blue and green).

• Shades of white are giving you a sense of space, creating a good atmosphere to Zen-styled homes.
