Using a color wheel

The three common properties are hue, value, and intensity.

Hue

The name of a color (red, blue, green, and so on) is its hue. Hue is just one of three dimensions of any color.

Value

Value is the amount of lightness or darkness in a color.

Values progress from white (the lightest value) to black (the darkest value), with graded values of gray between white and black.

Light values, obtained by adding white to a color, are called tints. Dark values, obtained by adding black to a color, are called shades.

In the center of the scale is the pure color.

The colors to the left of the pure color are tints — white has been added to the pure color in increasing amounts to create lighter and lighter tints.

The colors to the right of the pure color are shades — black has been added to the pure color in increasing amounts to create darker and darker shades. No matter what color is used, value changes are made in terms of lightness and darkness only.

Color value scale for gray, from pure white at the left to pure black at the right.

Color value scale for green

Intensity

Intensity, the third property of color, is the amount of brightness or dullness in a color. A pure violet, for example, is high in intensity, a dulled lavendar is low in intensity.

Primary Colors

The primary colors are yellow, red, and blue.

All of the other colors are made from combinations of those three colors. Color schemes based on primary colors are often used in informal settings.

When you combine these you get the three secondary colors: orange, violet and green.

Tertiary Colors

Tertiary colors are formed by mixing equal amounts of a

primary color with a secondary color next to it. When you mix the primary color yellow with the secondary color orange, you get the tertiary color yellow-orange.

The other tertiary colors are red-orange, red-violet, blueviolet, blue-green, and yellow-green, as shown on the color circle.

In referring to intermediate colors, always put the name of the primary color first, as in yellowgreen, blue-green, and red-violet.

This is where we get the color wheel from.

Warm and Cool Colors

Colors, such as yellow, red, and orange, are considered to give sensations of warmth. They’re associated with sources of warmth such as the sun and fire. They appear to advance toward the viewer.

Other colors, such as green and blue, are considered to give a sensation of coolness. They’re associated with cool waters, skies, and dense forests. The cool colors seem to recede from the viewer.

Monochromatic Schemes

A monochromatic scheme involves the use of only one basic color with its many values and intensities. For instance, you might use the color pink as the basis for your color scheme. The carpeting might be a muted medium pink, the walls a very pale pink, and the sofa a lighter value of pink than the rug. This monochromatic scheme would produce a very pleasant and restful room.

A monochromatic scheme is one of the easiest color schemes to work with. But, it’s also one of the more difficult schemes to use, it can easily become dull and boring.

To keep a monochromatic scheme from becoming blah, you must plan to add interest to the room by using a mixture of patterns, shapes, textures, and accessories.

A monochromatic scheme may consist of any color in the spectrum with its various values and intensities. But all variations must be derived from that one color. For example, in a

scheme based on blue, you wouldn’t use a tint of blue-green. It ceases to be a monochromatic scheme when a second color is introduced.

The only exception to this scheme is that a neutral color such as blacks, whites, beiges, and grays can add variety and interest. These neutral colors can be used as backgrounds, or

they can be used to separate the various values and intensities in a room.

Analogous Schemes

Analogous colors, or related colors, are comprised of two or three colors that are next to each other on the color circle. One example of an analogous color scheme is yellow, yelloworange, and orange. These three colors are considered related because all contain the same color (in this case, yellow). The first color, yellow, is a primary color. Orange (a secondary color) is comprised of yellow and red. Yellow-orange (an intermediate color) is made of a combination of yellow and orange.

You can move around the color circle and find many pleasing schemes created from related, or neighboring, colors.

Complementary Schemes

Colors directly opposite each other on the color circle are called complementary colors. Violet and yellow are complementary colors. Another way to say this is that violet is the complement of yellow. Refer to the color circle and look for other examples of

complementary colors.

Choose one color and then find the color directly opposite it. For instance, blue-green is opposite red-orange. Therefore, blue-green and red-orange are

complementary colors.

When two complementary colors, such as red and green, are placed side by side, their strong contrast makes each color look more intense.

Split-Complementary Schemes

A variation of the complementary scheme is the split-complementary scheme, which consists of one color and the two colors on each side of its complement. For instance, the

complement of red-orange is blue-green. The colors on each side of blue-green are blue and green. For example of a split-complementary color scheme is red-orange, blue, and

green. The colors in a split-complementary scheme don’t vibrate with each other as much as they do in a complementary scheme.

Double-Complementary Schemes

Another variation of the complementary scheme is the double-complementary scheme, which consists of two adjacent colors on the color circle and their complements.

For example, the colors orange and red-orange are two adjacent colors on the color circle. The complements of these colors are blue and blue-green. These four colors comprise a double-complementary scheme.

Because this scheme has more colors than any other scheme you should carefully control how you use these colors in a decorating plan. Possibly the best approach to working with a double-complementary color scheme is to choose one of the colors to be the dominant color and make the other three colors subdued. If all four colors are used in

the same amounts, the scheme will be unbalanced.

Triadic Schemes

A triadic scheme uses three colors that are equal distances from each other on the color circle. You’ve already read about two triadic schemes, the primary colors (yellow, red,

and blue), and the secondary colors (orange, violet, and green). Other triads can also be developed on the circle, such as red-orange, blue-violet, and yellow-green.

One or more of the three colors in a triadic scheme are often grayed, or toned down, leaving only one to be used at full intensity.

An example of a grayed color scheme is pictured below.

Neutral Schemes

Neutral colors, such as white, black, gray, and toned down browns and beiges, are sometimes considered no-colors. Neutral color schemes are used widely for modern settings. Interest is added to such decors through a wide variety of textures and surface finishes.

Using a Color Wheel

A color wheel allows you to visualize various color schemes, like complementary and

analogous, in a variety of base colors.

Color schemes are created in a variety of ways by starting with the basic color circle

concepts.

How do you choose colors for your decorating project?

Do you have an instinct for picking colors?

✦ . 　⁺ 　 . ✦ . 　⁺ 　 . ✦ ✦ . 　⁺ 　 . ✦ . 　⁺ 　 . ✦

THE DELICATE FOLDS of the pale pink sundress fluttered like petals in a gentle breeze, framing your figure with a soft, ethereal elegance. As the front door yielded to the push, the fabric danced around your legs, caressing the tender skin of your thighs with a whisper of touch. Your radiant smile illuminated the scene, a beacon of joy amidst the fluttering fabric and nervous flutter of butterflies in your stomach.

“Hey!” The male voice chimed brightly, his tone cheerful as a songbird greeting the dawn, echoing through the air with an infectious energy that mirrored your own bright smile.

“Hey!” You respond with effervescent warmth, your smile stretching across your face like a sunbeam breaking through clouds. With a graceful gesture, you swing the door open wider, revealing the inviting warmth of your home’s foyer. The soft light spills in, casting a golden glow over the polished floors and elegant furnishing. The first thing to notice is the giant painting of a Ferrari Formula One car, hung high above the entry way table.

“Look who we have here! It’s Mrs. Leclerc!” A delicate blush warms your cheeks, a subtle reminder of the tender affection that tingles within you whenever you’re addressed as such. Though you and Charles have been together for many years, your marriage has infused your relationship with a fresh sense of intimacy and closeness. And despite that it’s been almost five years, the title of “wife” feels forever new and unfamiliar.

“On a scale of 1-10, how excited are you about life right now?”

“I would say 8, so I’m super excited!” With a gentle click, you shut the front door behind you, enveloping the foyer in a tranquility as you made your way down the hallway to the kitchen. Along the way, you stooped to pick up a scattering of children’s toys that lay scattered like confetti on the polished wooden floors, offering a quick apology for the perceived “mess.” However, you couldn’t help but inwardly smile at the orchestrated chaos around you. While the house was meticulously maintained by the cleaning company before the video shoot, every detail was carefully curated to strike the perfect balance between lived-in warmth and elegance, ensuring a setting that felt both inviting and authentic to you and the viewers.

“Any reason for that?”

In the heart of the home lies a kitchen adorned with a stunning green cabinet motif. The cabinets, painted in a rich emerald hue, exude an air of sophistication and charm, perfectly complemented by gleaming brass hardware. Sunlight filters through the vast array of windows, casting a warm glow over the polished marble countertops.

“You mean other than the fact that the kids go back to school soon?” You and the interviewer let out a soft laugh as you made your way behind the kitchen island, opening the fridge in a smooth motion to pull out a water bottle. “Want one?”

“No, but thanks though!” His voice is light-hearted.

As the fridge door remains open, a tantalizing glimpse is offered to the audience of its well-stocked interior. A colorful array of fresh produce fills the shelves, showing an abundance of vibrant fruits and crisp vegetables. Among the healthy offerings, assortment of juice boxes catches the eye, adding a playful touch to the wholesome scene.

“That’s a lot of juice boxes you have in there.” He makes a comment, it’s not a question, but you take it as one.

“Two kids and a husband,” You start, your tone light and casual before lowering your voice into a conspiratorial whisper for the camera, “who practically is also a kid, results in a lot of juice boxes.” With a playful wink directed at the lens, you punctuate the statement, adding a touch of humor to the scene. Setting the water bottle down on the expansive kitchen counter, you resume your easy demeanor, effortlessly blending candor and charm for your audience.

“Hey!” Your head shoots over, the camera seamlessly following your gaze to where Charles, your husband,sits on the floor of the living room, two of your kids, aged two and three, beside him with an abundance of toys strewn about. “I heard that!” Charles retorts with mock offense, a playful grin lighting up his face as he joins in the banter.

The living room exudes a chic sophistication with a distinct Formula One flair. Charcoal-gray walls provide a sleek backdrop, accentuating the mounted flat-screen television. A striking statement piece dominates one corner—a display of artwork showcasing all of the racetracks Charles has conquered – infusing the room with a sense of triumph and energy. A plush white sofa, adorned with an array of vibrant red pillows, invites relaxation and style. Across the room, a sizable shelf proudly showcases a collection of racing helmets, some belonging to Charles and others gathered over time, adding a personal touch to the space. Below the television, was a long console table that was adorned in various plants and photos of your family. You couldn’t help but smile as you glanced at them.

With a casual wave of your hand, you dismiss Charles’s playful interruption, maintaining your position at the kitchen island as the camera refocuses on you. The gesture carries an air of affectionate familiarity, a gentle reminder of the dynamic energy that permeates your bustling household.

“If you could do a love scene with anyone, who would it be?”

“Definitely Austin Butler.” You answer almost immediately, no hesitance in your voice.

“Hey!” Charles’s playful yelp echoes through the room once more, accompanied by the joyful laughter of your children. One nestled in his lap, the other engrossed in a picture book, their presence adding warmth and vitality to the room. You share a knowing smile with Charles, the affectionate banter a familiar melody to your family life.

The laughter of the interviewer joins the playful exchange. The camera effortlessly captures the dynamic interaction between all of you with ease.

You roll your eyes playfully, “Restez en dehors de ça.” Stay out of this!

“Arrête de faire semblant de vouloir faire l’amour avec quelqu’un d’autre que moi!” Stop pretending you want to make love with anybody but me!

With a mischievous gleam in your eye, you turn back to the camera, a playful smirk tugging at the corner of your lips. “Can I change my answer?” You inquire, injecting a hint of playful anticipation into your tone.

“Sure,” the interviewer replies.

“You’re supposed to say no,” You quip with a chuckle.

“Oh, um no?”

With a playful pout, you glance over at Charles who is already staring at the interaction. A smile adorned on his face like he is in complete awe of you, regardless of what you are saying. “Sorry honey!” You wave your hand around. “Answers are final!”

Leaving the kitchen behind, you make your way towards the backyard, where the promise of relaxation and leisure awaits. Stepping through the door, you’re greeted by the sight of a large pool shimmering under the sunlight, its crystal-clear waters beckoning for a refreshing dip. Surrounding the pool, lounge chairs are strategically place, some on the pool’s ledge, inciting you to bask in the sun while enjoying the cool water. A wide arrangement of pool floaties from unicorns to racecars litter the pool as well.

It’s a breathtaking sight: a vast expanse of bright blue skies stretching overhead, adorned with barely a wisp of cloud in sight. The warm rays of sun dance upon your skin. With a stylish flourish, you slip on a pair of your favorite Ray-Bans, a subtle nod to your husband’s sunglass collection.

“Vintage or new?”

You ponder for a moment as you stand in the backyard, a breeze blowing your hair behind your shoulders. “Depends, but definitely vintage.”

“Window or aisle seat?”

“Aisle, although Charles likes to take the aisle more.”

“What are three things you can’t live without?”

“Wait, do my children count as two of the three?”

“Up to you.”

“Okay, so my two children. And my lip gloss.” You laugh, pausing for effect. “Kidding! My two kids, and my lip gloss…” You pause, jokingly. “And my husband of course.” The light-hearted remark reflects the joyful chaos of humor and love in your life. “He’s really the sweetest man. I’m so lucky.”

The glass door slides open with a whisper, and into the frame steps Charles, his presence incessant. With a carefree demeanor, he approaches you clad in a pair of baggy jeans and a plain white t-shirt that stretched at the seams from his muscles. He presses soft kisses to your cheeks, the stubble of his own rubbing against your smooth skin, his love evident in each tender kiss.

“Désolé,” Sorry. He apologizes before pecking another kiss to your cheek. “Tellement ambrassable.” Just so kissable. He places one more on your cheek, your face bright red from the camera’s catching all of this.

“Looks like he can’t be far from you for very long.”

Charles looks at the camera, a glint in his eye with a large smile, like he was the happiest man on earth, and nothing could dampen his spirits. Especially with you nearby. “Est-ce que tu la vois?” Do you see her?

The interviewer, unaware of Charles’s words, simply nods in response behind the camera lens, acknowledging the affection in his tone. Later translations will reveal the depth of Charles’s words no doubt. Elle est tellement belle. Bien sûr, je ne peux pas rester loin longtemps.” She’s so beautiful. Of course, I can’t stay far long.

Your face is bright red as Charles remains at your side.

“Where are the kids?”

“Put them down for a nap!” Charles answers, his arm slung over your shoulder as he leans on you comfortably.

As the interviewer continues the questionnaire, Charles can’t resist interjecting with playful remarks and comments on almost every question. His spontaneous interruptions add an element of humor and spontaneity to the video, turning what could have been a standard interview into an entertaining and engaging exchange.

“How do you define beauty?” “My wife.” “Charles, the questions are for me!”

"What do you love most about your body?" "That's an easy one...I think her--" Charles begins, but you swat his chest and cut him off. "I love my arms. Not because they're that nice but they give me the ability to hold my children." Charles clicks his tongue, hating that you even implied something about yourself as 'not that nice'.

"Least favorite color?" "Red." Charles lets out a large gasp with a string of phrases in French, clearly hurt by your response. "It's a joke, mon amour!" "How did you know you were in love?" You look at Charles then, his eyes already on you, a soft smile pulling on both of your lips. "I can't remember a time when I wasn't in love with him. Probably when I realized I would rather be awake in the middle of the night, since he was traveling so much, just to talk to him for even a few minutes, instead of going to sleep." Charles plays with the ends of your hair, twirling the ends around his fingers as he chimes in. "We've known each other for so long. But, when I first met her, it was like meeting someone I've known my entire life. There was no awkward silences between us. We just clicked."

“Diamonds or pearls?” “Pearls.” “Mon chou, don’t lie.” “I’m not!” “The diamond on your finger says otherwise!”

“If you made a documentary, what would it be about?” “Charles’ brain. I seriously question what goes on in there sometimes.” “Hey! It’s only you…” You raise your eyebrows at him, like he’s a liar. “And racing.” “Definitely racing.”

“If you had a tattoo, where would it be?”

Charles smirks deeply, like he knows something the world doesn’t, the interviewer picks up on it. “Wait, you have a tattoo? Can we see it?”

“No! It’s for me only.”

You playfully swat at Charles’ chest, a playful blush coloring your cheeks as you both wander throughout the house, showcasing its beautiful décor. Despite your embarrassment at Charles’ antics, you can’t help but be thankful for him easing your nerves. You weren’t one for the public eye, normally. So, when you agreed to this interview it came out as quite a surprise.

“Okay final question of the day.”

You both stand by the front door, the interviewer on the front step outside of the home.

“Hugs or kisses?”

“Definitely ki—” You don’t get to finish your answer as Charles’ fingers grasp onto your neck, his fingers sprawled along your jawline as well, and tugs your face into his. He shuts the door as soon as his tongue slips into your mouth.

It’s a few seconds before you push him off you. “You’re unbelievable!”

A giant smile spreads across his face as he looks down at you. “Only for you, mon chou!”
