People often struggle with creating a great color scheme. Often, we start the conversation by talking about the limitations, or the box of colors you need to stay within based on your fixed finishes. 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 and analogous schemes. Today, lets look at complimentary schemes.
Complimentary color schemes are based on using two hues that are opposite to each other on the color wheel. When placed next to each other, they create the strongest contrast for those two colors. They each make the other look more intense and brighter than they look apart.
Love these side by side variations on all the different color schemes! And that flower picture is stunning!
Thanks so much Janet!
