The Color Handbook - The Ultimate Guide to Choosing Colors
The color of a room determines its character, personality, and energy. Color consideration is one of the most important parts of interior design and can evoke many different types of emotions in people. The power of color is a real one: colors can influence our moods, our thoughts, and our reactions.
Colors generate reactions and can alter the experience of a room. Color also determines the purpose of a room. This is why choosing the right color for a room is such an important (and often daunting) task.
Deciding which color to use to paint a room can be difficult. A room and its walls are like a blank canvas. With thousands of different colors to choose from, it can be hard to know where to begin. There are, however, a few things that can make the decision less daunting. Following a few pointers and understanding color relationships can make choosing a color much easier.
