What is the Impact of Using Primary Colors and where are they Used?

Having the basic knowledge of color painting, you can create a flow of colors and contrasts, which can be obtained by mixing and blending different shades of colors. An interior designer, being a professional, knows which color best suits your bedroom, living room or any other area of your house. To give more prominence to an area, a professional interior designer suggests making use of the primary colors – red, blue and yellow. For a calm and serene look in a bed room, usually a blue color is used; whereas red and yellow are used in kids’ room for creating a brighter look.

What Impact do the Secondary Colors Create?

Secondary colors, also known as complementary colors, are made by blending two primary colors. Orange, violet and green colors fall under the category of secondary colors.

Let Us Get into the World of Shades

Which Principal Color to Choose for your House?

If you have double or triple-storey house, choosing one color for the whole body of your house is not the right decision, instead use three shades – the darkest one on the upper most portions, the medium for the middle and the lightest for first floor. This criterion of picking different color shades is based on the entrance of natural light in each portion.
