BASIC COLOUR THEORY:

Colour is both science and art. Artists, researchers and therapists have long been intrigued by the effect of colour on the human psyche.

We explore the results of some of these investigative quests into colour in these articles with the intention of better informing you about colour and how best to use it to optimum effect in your home or work place.

The basis of most colour theory is the colour wheel, which reduces all colour into three primary colours, which are then expanded to six secondary colours and then 12 tertiary colours.

By using the colour wheel one can easily determine which colours work together to create harmonious schemes that will effectively create the desired ambience in a particular space.
