Choose colors for your home
There is a basic premise that must be taken into account and that all derive from the primary colors: red, yellow and blue. Mixing two primary colors you get a secondary color. For example yellow and blue results in green, yellow and red gives orange, blue and red gives purple. And if you mix a primary color with a secondary tone you get a tertiary color, softer.
The reds, oranges, toasted, golden pinks and yellows are warm colors. They are known as "dominant" because it gives the impression that approach, and are ideal for giving warmth a cold room, facing south.
At the other end of the scale are the cool colors: blue, green, lilac, púrupuras, pink and turquoise. It is generally easier to live with them, because they create a feeling of space even when the rooms are small.
It is considered that a color is "clear" or "dark" as the amount of white or black that you have added to the basic tone. The clear, reflect light and make a room seem brighter and brighter, while dark colors absorb light. It is important to take this into account when choosing a striking color scheme, such as a large surface in black, red or midnight blue.
The effect can be interesting but unpleasant artificial light to daylight. The guidance and the room size should be taken into account when choosing colors. There is a great market to help determine the colors is called color wheel, it shows the primary tones, secondary and tertiary, in the order they are produced by combining, in turn the additional tones (combining particularly well with each other) are opposites in the color wheel.
This wheel allows more resources to be harmonious combination. For example you can choose to combine the three colors that are separated by the same distance, such as red-orange, yellow-green and blue-violet or red-yellow and blue.
Harmonics are also close as two colors: yellow-yellow-green, or purple-pink intenso.Una third possibility is to use a color and its complement, which is directly opposed on the color wheel. If a room is assembled monochromatic (one color in various shades and hues) may want to add details of the complementary color to avoid monotony.
Basic rules for choosing color
Choose a main color for each room, including the task will be facilitated if the basic color of a main room extends to the lobby, corridor or other rooms. Many architects are in favor of white households especially in the dark, because it reflects more light than any other color, other white people prefer to add a bit of a warmer color like apricot. Rooms that stand to gain if the look of a defined color and strong as the red, that can add warmth to an environment where the weather is very cold.
Paint the woodwork including door frames and windows in white color that blends in with everyone else and has the virtue of framing the room, highlighting the railings, cornices, moldings and other architectural details.
It is recommended to choose a secondary color for floor and ceiling, complementing the principal. It may even be the same tone but lighter or darker or a complementary color.
Given these basic rules is very easy to determine which colors combine well in every corner of the house. Suerte!
