How do you choose the right paint color for you?
What colors catch your eye when shopping, when choosing clothes from your closet, or when looking at magazines? Once you have answered these questions, try to come up with a system of matching colors and shades.
- Bright versus dull colors
Colors are divided into three categories and each has a different effect on us:
1- Bright colors: They add an element of activity to the room, which makes them perfectly suitable for offices or kitchens. Such as: yellow or red.
2- Pale colors: They add an element of calm and are ideal for bedrooms. Such as: blue, green, or purple.
3- Neutral colors : They have a neutral effect, as they are called, and do not add an element of activity or calm. They are ideal for combining rooms and creating a natural palette that mimics the colors found in nature, or to reduce the intensity of other colors. Such as: brown, beige, grey, white or black.

Need to consider the rooms
Each room has some features that cannot be ignored, such as its size, wooden floors and decoration on the walls. Instead of adding anything that might weaken these features, we should work on how to beautify and highlight them using paint color. Here are some tips:
- Dull colors lead to visual dimming, which contributes to small spaces appearing larger than they are.
- Bright colors transform a large room into a warmer and more intimate one.
Using white paint on the ceiling of a room gives the illusion of increasing the height of the ceiling or highlighting architectural details such as detailed edges.

Beyond paint
A room's color scheme includes more than just the color of paint on its walls.
You should make sure that key room elements , such as furniture, artwork, and accessories, match your chosen color scheme. As for the complementary accessories , it is possible to look at them later once the basic elements are in place.
- Color tones
-
After choosing a base wall color, use the color ladder to create a color scheme for your room. The primary choice should be different shades and tints of your chosen base color – i.e. a monochromatic color scheme. You can also mix the primary color with its opposite color on the color scale for a complementary color scheme.
-
When choosing the primary color, it is also possible to choose two other colors from the color scale so that the three form a triad (triangle shape), because these three colors are one degree apart from each other.
-
Perhaps the simplest way to describe color is “shade,” and the three primary shades (red, yellow, and blue) are highlighted by the secondary shades (green, orange, and violet). It is possible to mix these six shades to produce an infinite number of shades of the triad.
-
A color or its shades is usually referred to as a range. Decorating with colors from the same color range is common because colors that may look completely different may have the same range, so applying unity in a color range is not boring – it allows for boldness.
-
As with any color base, more means less, so if the color range in a room is too familiar, its overall effect may be negative.
