Colour harmony ensures that a room will not only look good but that it will also feel good. When striving for colour harmony, take into account your walls and furniture as well as any other accessories in a given room. There are many ways to harmonise colours and the colour wheel is a great tool to assist you.

EXAMPLES OF HARMONIOUS SCHEMES:

A) Monochromatic:

A scheme that uses one hue in combination with any one of its tints, tones or shades.

B) Complementary:

A scheme using colours directly opposite or nearly opposite on the colour wheel.

C) Triadic:

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

D) Analogous:

A scheme that uses two or three related colours that lie next to each other on the colour wheel for an harmonious blend.

E) Split Complement:

A scheme that uses the hues to the left and right of a colours complement on the colour wheel.

F) Double Complement:

A scheme that uses two complementary schemes in one room.
