In the post of Understand color wheel&how it works by 移花, he introduced us a tool called color wheel and some releated terminology, as well as a few common color schemes when picking up painting colors for rooms in your home. I learned many new words and terms when I read it. Unfortunally, I have returned many of them back to 移花. Now I only remembered a few.
In our house, the colors for all the room are very dull, they are either off white, light yellow, light green, or pale blue except a corner in the basement. When we renovated our basement, we decided to add a little bit of stricking colors to make a bold statement, just for having some fun.
Talking about color wheel, I also have one. Please see it in the following picture. It is a dish I made in a Chinese New year dinner three years ago. Is it pretty? I like playing with colors when cooking which make the cooking process more enjoyable.
The different color scheme can not only used when we choose painting color for house, but also can be used when we cook food and take pictures.
1. Monochromatic Color Scheme
These tone-on-tone combinations use several shades and tints of a single hue for a subtle palette.
2. Analogous Color Scheme
For a bit more contrast, an analogous palette includes colors found side by side on the wheel, such as orange, yellow, and green, for a colorful but relaxing feel. Neighboring hues work well in conjunction with each other because they share the same base colors.
3. Complementary Color Scheme
Using two hues directly opposite each other on the color wheel. These complementary colors work well together because they balance each other visually.
