In interior design, colors are extremely important. Also known as a color circle, the color wheel helps us see which colors mix well with others, and which don’t. In interior design, the color wheel provides a visual representation of colors arranged according to their chromatic relationship. It is definitely difficult to determine every single color there is. Studies show that we see 1000 levels of light dark, 100 levels of red-green, and 100 levels of yellow blue. The human eyes and brain translate millions of different colors. We have learned how to mix and match the colors to set a specific mood, theme, or genre.
Inspired by nature, we have adapted colors to our clothes, homes, personal grooming, toys, and educational materials. From green trees to white clouds, to yellow sunshine and gray storms, we are immersed in the beauty reflected by colors. In everyday life, our world is filled with colors. Welcome to our page on the color wheel and how to use it for matching colors for your interior design projects.
