People often struggle with creating a great color scheme. In my last few blog articles we have discussed how you could take your favorite color, blue for example and create different color schemes. We explored monochromatic, analogous, complimentary and diad color schemes. Today, lets look at a Triad!
A triad uses three colors with the equal distance between all colors on the color wheel, causing no clear dominance of one color.
Great color series illustrations. I love how you show so clearly what changing one piece does to the mood and feeling of the room!
Thanks Janet! This series has been a lot of fun to experiment with. Changing color really does totally change the look and feel of a room so much!
This is a great post! I really appreciate how you so clearly illustrate the impact saturation of color makes in how a room feels. The renderings are a great way to do that.
Thank you Lisa! Yes, saturation can make a huge difference in how a room feels and also what colors play well together. Similar saturation or chroma levels help create color harmony.
How beautifully you explained by your expressive illustrations the concepts of the color wheel , Mary Ann. This goes back to color 101 for most of us but yet you raised the bar by your expert designing eyes to bring out the perfect examples to teach us how to implement it in our spaces. Well done!
Thank you so much!
What a lovely series showing how color can have such an impact!
Thank you so much Charmain!
Loved seeing how you were able to show the same room in different colors. The triad color system is helpful too.
Thanks Deborah, and it is so easy to figure out from the color wheel to help people come up with ideas for their spaces.
I am really enjoying this series and seeing your renderings! It’s great to see one room with so many different looks.
Thanks so much! It is fun to play with and just goes to show what a huge impact color has on a space. Paint color can often be the easiest and most inexpensive thing to change and that alone can transform a space.
