Objective 3.03:Implement color schemes in
housing interiors.
Colors have a “temperature” and are considered either warm or cool.
Warm Colors•Reds, yellows, and oranges
•Warm colors advance and make walls appear closer to you than they really are
•Warm colors make a space appear smaller.
Cool Colors•Blues, violets, and greens
•Cool colors recede and make walls seem farther away than they really are
•Cool colors make a space appear larger.
Color Schemes Groups of colors that work
well together are called color schemescolor schemes
Color schemes are selected in order to create a mood or set a tone
Pleasing color schemes can be created based on the color wheel
1. MonochromaticThe simplest color scheme because it uses a single hue from the color wheel
Variation is achieved by changing the value and/or intensity of the hue.
Monochromatic color schemes have a soothing effect; but they can become boring.
Monochromatic schemes can make a room appear larger.
2. Analogous A color scheme using 3-5 colors next to each other on the
color wheel Works best if you choose one dominate color and use
smaller amounts of the others Since analogous colors are related, they blend together well.
Yellow, Yellow-Green, Yellow-Orange, Orange
Yellow, Yellow-Orange, Yellow-Green
Blue, Blue-Green, Green, Yellow-Green, Yellow
3. Complementary A color scheme using colors opposite each
other on the color wheel Complementary colors make each other look
brighter and more intense.
Violet and Yellow
Blue-Green, Red-Orange
Tints of Green and Red
4. Split Complementary A color scheme using one hue and the two hues
on each side of its complement.
Yellow, Red-Violet, Blue-Violet
Green, Red-Orange, Red-Violet
Yellow-Green, Violet, Red

5. Triadic A color scheme using three colors equally distance from each
other on the color wheel The triadic scheme offers high contrast while retaining harmony.
Red, Yellow, Blue
Red-Violet, Yellow-Orange, Blue-Green
Violet, Orange, Green
6. Neutral
A color scheme using whites, blacks, grays and beiges.
Small amounts of color are sometimes added to neutral color schemes to give the room more interest
This scheme is called an accented neutral.
