Fundamentals of Color Theory

Identify The Principles

Color theory embodies various principles such as shade, tint, tone, and temperature to harmonize colors, more commonly referred to hues within the design world.

Color Psychology

By combining different shades, tints, and tones of a single hue (color) or incorporating multiple colors within your home, you can create effects that evoke emotions and convey a message.

Color Temperature

From soft pinks to rich navies and muted yellows, this trio of spaces shows how color temperature shapes mood. Cool tones soothe, warm shades invite, and neutrals tie it all together, proving that contrast, when balanced, brings depth and character to any room.

Add warmth with wood tones, create contrast with black or gray elements, or soften a space with whites.

Consider natural and artificial lighting, colors may shift depending on it.

Darker shades in dimly lit areas can make the space feel heavier and in turn, feel smaller.
