COLOR
SCHEMES

101

Four common palettes
from the color wheel.

MONOCHROMATIC:
Create shades (adding black) and tints
(adding white) of a
single hue for a subtle
palette. An example
would be navy, medium
blue and light blue.
These tone-on-tone
color schemes can be
soothing and serene.

ANALOGOUS: An
analogous palette is
made up of colors found
side by side on the color
wheel, such as blue,
blue-green and green.
While more colorful
than a monochromatic
scheme, analogous
palettes can still lend a
relaxing vibe.

CONTRAST: A contrasting palette uses three
hues that are evenly
spaced on the color
wheel, such as orange,
violet and green for a
jolt of balanced colors.

COMPLEMENTARY: Two
colors that are directly
opposite on the wheel
are complementary-
think red and green,
blue and orange or
violet and yellow. These
dynamic combinations
command attention.
-CR

using colors in the cooler
family-blues, greens,
greys, turquoise-however,
we are using more pastel
versions of them," says
local designer Emily
Mangus. "The lighter
tonality still allows many
color combinations but in
a more subtle way. I think
this is a happy medium
so we don't all get sick of
grey, grey and grey!"

QUESTION #3

What's my
inspiration
piece?
When Mangus designs a
room, she always uses a
jumping off point, which
is often a rug, but can be
a piece of art or even a
fabric.
Start with one thing, and
build from there. If you
have that anchor to pull
you back to a scheme, you
can stave off the chaos
of going in too many
unrelated directions.
If your rug has blue,
magenta, gray and orange,
you can go in any of those
directions with fabrics and
other elements. This allows
the versatility of switching
up color when you do tire
of it.

QUESTION #4

Could I flip
the wall and
trim paint?

Love the idea of
turquoise walls,
but fear it's too
much? Paint the
walls a neutral, like
designer favorite
BM Decorator's
White, and paint
the trim a turquoise
hue (points for
high-gloss). It's less

to take in when the
color arrangement
is flipped, and this
wall/trim treatment
feels current.
The color wheel
informs decisions,
but understanding
color scheme
guidelines means
you can determine

when to ignore
them.
Maria O'Driscoll,
a Roanoke artist
known for her
color-saturated
paintings, derives
inspiration from the
vibrant landscape
of her native
Columbia.
"There are
colorful fruits and
blooms all year,
so I'm inspired by
that natural beauty
but I take a lot of
liberties with color,"
says O'Driscoll, who
will weave hot pink
into a mountain
landscape. "My
favorite thing is to
experiment with
color, how it goes
together...what
makes it pop."

IMPORTANT:

Consider your home your canvas and experiment like a fearless artist. I
