Color wheel monochrome combination. Color combinations in the interior

July 30, 2014

Many fashionistas are afraid to choose an image that combines more than three colors, the rest are at risk, often making annoying mistakes.

In fact, correctly combining the colors of clothes and accessories is much easier than it seems at first glance. Fortunately, color harmony obeys the laws, which it is advisable to familiarize yourself with for everyone who has difficulty choosing colored clothes.

The foundations of color science are based on the theory of the "color wheel", in which all visible to the eye colors.
Color matching by contrast is one of the winning options. Considering that this is a circle, draw a line-radius through the center of the circle, for example, from green - and it will lead you just in time for the color of fuchsia. This will be the optimal contrast combination.

If you are afraid of the brightness of the contrast, choose deaf or pale shades. When choosing contrasting colors, it is advised to take them not in equal proportions. For example, a suit dark shades, and red - only a scarf, collar or handbag.

One of the most difficult combinations is an achromatic color palette, when an image is built around black, white or gray, without using other colors.

A more reliable combination in a combination of colors of clothes is a harmonious combination. This combination is the most pleasing to the eye, these are the colors, as it were, passing into each other, devoid of contrast and challenge.

How to match colors in clothes

There are six basic color combinations. Each of them can give an infinite number of different color palettes.

Take the following combination options for the base: monochrome, complementary and triadic.

With monochrome, consisting of colors of one sector of the circle, combine several shades of the same color.
A monochrome combination can be diluted with a neutral color. Nearby colors on the wheel are perfectly combined and produce a harmonious and pleasant impression.
With complimentary, where two opposite colors are used in the circle, choose tones that beautifully set off each other and give the color a "play".
A split complementary scheme is a scheme in which one of the opposite colors is replaced by two adjacent colors on a circle.
With triadic A combination of three equally spaced colors on the color wheel is chosen.
Primary scheme It is a combination of the three primary colors (red, blue and yellow).
secondary scheme is a combination of three secondary colors (orange, green and purple). They are obtained by mixing primary colors (red and yellow make orange, yellow and blue make green, and blue and red make purple).
Tertiary scheme is a combination of three equidistant tertiary colors (red-orange, orange-yellow, yellow-green, green-blue and blue-violet). They are formed by mixing primary colors with secondary ones.

By simplifying it to 12-16 shades, you can more accurately determine the options for approximate combinations. Such a color wheel is convenient for selecting harmonious color combinations from 2, 3 or 4 colors. In each example, the lines connecting different colors can be mentally rotated in a circle, getting new combinations.

2 opposite colors: combination with high contrast.	3 colors: classical triad, colors arranged in a triangle.	3 contrasting colors: two colors are almost related, one is contrasting.
Red+Green blue+orange purple+yellow	emerald green+yellow-orange+purple cobalt blue + light green + orange azure blue+lemon+red blue+yellow+pink	Example: green + yellow + pink.
Very close variant: 4 colors: 3 related and 1 contrast.	3 related colors: weak combination.	4 colors: two mutually reinforcing.
Example: yellow + blue + purple + pink.	Example: lilac + shades of pink.	Example: blue + salad green + pink + warm beige instead of orange.

Examples of color combinations in clothes

Consider the color wheel, color combination schemes and simple examples.

Combination of analog colors - soft, calm combination of three neighboring colors of the spectrum. Choose the main, complementary and accent tone, be sure to use shades of color that are different in brightness.

A combination of opposites(complimentary) colors. According to color theory, each warm color is harmoniously combined with the cold opposite to it. These pairs are easy to identify using the spectral circle (color wheel).

The combination of combined complementary colors - a less contrasting variant of the combination of opposites. Such a scheme, when one color is combined with two opposite, close to each other, is perceived by the eye more harmoniously.

Classic triad - a combination of a combination of 3 colors that are located at the same distance from one another (at the vertices of an equilateral triangle). It is also worth choosing one dominant color, and the other two - shading and complementing the main one.

Rectangular pattern combination consists of two pairs, each of which contains the opposite color and its corresponding analog. This option is more diverse, but requires precise balance between the primary and secondary colors.

Color harmony is not limited to 4 color combinations. A hexagon can also be inscribed in the color wheel, the vertices of which will indicate extended color harmonies. Bright, juicy color combinations can be diluted with universal ones - black, white, gray and beige. This good way expand the color range without the risk of overdoing it and becoming like a rainbow.

Color saturation

The color may be lighter or darker. In other words, the color has saturation. To show saturation, the color wheel has several rings; two large rings for dark shades and two small ones for light ones.

Each color can be used in varying degrees of intensity. In the color wheel below, each color is divided into 6 rows - from light pastels to muted, in the middle - bright and pure colors.

The most contrasting combinations will be:
1. Bright colors.
2. Pastel and muted colors.
3. Pastel and muted shades of the same color.

Combinations with weak contrast.
1. Between pastel colors.
2. Between muted colors.
3. Between shades of the same color, close to each other in saturation.

You also need to remember that color induction is of great importance for visual perception, i.e. change in the characteristics of one color under the influence of another. If dark and light colors are placed side by side, then the dark will appear darker, and the light - lighter.

By the way, you can print (or draw: o) a color wheel, throw it in your purse and go shopping!

In moments of uncertainty, remember the color wheel and the basic laws of color harmony, the rest of the time - trust your intuition and inspiration!

Good luck to you!

The combination of colors in the interior allows you to make the room harmonious, and the use of a color wheel and a table allows you to be confident in choosing shades. When you want to make repairs, we already present a general picture of the result, but when choosing materials and furniture, we begin to get lost and confused. Somewhere a colder shade, but this one is not so saturated. In the article I will give some tips on how to do without designers and correctly decide the color scheme of the room.

A bit of theory, because it gives you an idea of the essence of the process and the basis of the design.

The whole variety of colors is divided into three groups:

Basic, the use of blue, red, yellow natural scales,
Secondary (we mix the main palette together, then we get purple, green, orange),
Tertiary (the result of mixing secondary shades with the main one).

There are also color combinations in the interior:

Monochrome: Apply multiple shades of the same color (from pale pink to deep hot pink),

Achromatic or lack of color: black and white interior or black and gray and white,

Color combination table and color wheel

Two hundred years ago, Goethe invented the color wheel, he looked through, different color, pieces of glass and wrote down his feelings. By the way, the results of his work are still used by designers, for example, that green color neutral.

Let's say you went to a designer store and bought a color palette or found it in an interior. There are so many colors out there, how do you choose? First, look at the tone incompatibility table.

First you need to decide on lightness (dilute the white and black of the base color) and saturation (mixing the base color with gray).

So, in order to harmoniously select shades, you need to take colors that are equivalent in lightness or saturation.

For this, a color map has been created, which is shown in the figure.

Vertically, it shows the depth of saturation, and horizontally, lightness. It is important to choose either one line.

An example in the photo.

What shades are suitable for each other - schemes

I suggest watching a video that tells in detail about the lightness and color saturation.

Tips for choosing color shades for the interior

Before choosing colors Let's answer two important questions:

What side of the world is outside the window?

What is the room used for?

So, if you have a window facing north, then you should add light, warmth and saturation to the room, and not fill it with blue, thereby letting in the eternal gloomy north.

If sunlight hits the windows all day, then you can take cold shades.

To visually give the room air space, you need to add cold light shades. When you have a small room, then the abundance of dark or lilac tones further reduces space and gloom.

If you find it difficult to combine colors, then take one color and match it with complements with different saturation and texture.

The influence of color on the interior and our feeling in it

Color shades and mood are connected. Knowing how to properly introduce color into the interior - you will get a cozy apartment.

A room with too much of blue color can blow cold.

Red causes nerve cells to become excited and fatigued, which leads to aggression.

By the way, studies were conducted where people were placed in the same room, but under different lighting. So, those on whom the blue light shone tried to add heat and froze, and those on whom the red light shone said that they were hot.

And in places of public catering - use bright saturated colors: red, yellow. They catch the eye and invite you to enter, but also encourage you to do everything faster, including eating and leaving faster. Therefore, some kind of fuss and constant movement is created in these places. And such a psychological trick was played by color.

An abundance of brown can cause depression.

A lot of dullness in the design without dilution bright colors can cause discouragement. Therefore, choose the right accents in design. Often the walls are painted in all shades of beige, gray, blue.

For example, turquoise shade perfectly muffled by chocolate.

It looks very gentle gray with pink, as in the photo.

The combination of colors in the interior table: floor, ceiling, walls, furniture

All of the above applies more to walls and details. But the floor and ceiling play an important function in creating the optical effect of the room.

The basic rule is always this: the floor is chosen as the darkest, the ceiling as the lightest. We choose furniture darker than the walls and lighter than the floor.

The dark ceiling creates a feeling of pressure on the shoulders and a desire to duck. The use of such a color scheme is permissible only in rooms with very high ceilings and light walls.

Furniture can be bright and saturated, but the wall should be the background for it, so we take a lighter or less saturated shade. Or, on the contrary, with a dark wall, we choose light-colored furniture and accessories that stand out against the general background.

We analyze errors in the combination of colors

In order not to be unfounded, you need to consider some unsuccessful interiors, where the owners forgot about harmony and a sense of proportion. So in the photo we see that the balance in saturation is not observed: the green is clearly more diluted and cannot balance the bright lilac.

Below in the photo, the lightness and saturation of the accessories were also not observed. Yellow clearly dominates and hurts the eye. You need to choose a more diluted cold shade of yellow.

In the next interior, the green is also too diluted and the furniture is too contrasting for these calm walls.

Below is an option when curtains spoil the overall harmony. Too bright for this interior and immediately catches the eye.

Therefore, the main motto in the selection of colors: everything should be in moderation. I really like monochrome interiors so much, when a huge number of derivatives and interesting options are obtained from one color.

Laws of color combinations. Caloric in creating an image.

"A well-dressed person is one who considers himself and others"

Pierre Cardin

A harmonious image consists of a combination of colors in clothes, makeup, accessories. If the colors are combined

unsuccessfully, a feeling of “something is not right” in the image is created. In order to be adequately greeted by clothes, it is important to learn

feel and understand all the nuances color palette that nature has given us. The sense of color is

important component of a creative personality.

1 . Golden mean - variety and sense of proportion.

In order not to make a dull impression and make the image complete, 2 to 4 colors should be used.

A solid dark suit requires bright accessories, at least in the form of accents: shoes, bag, brooch, scarf. Bright makeup required. (E. Khromchenko)

Nothing ages a woman like a too rich suit (K. Chanel).

2. Base background (or backgrounds) and accent(s) give the image a finished and stable look.

Four colors are present not equally, but, for example, in such a ratio: two main and two complementary (in accessories: scarf, handbag, gloves, jewelry). An accent can be presented, for example, in the form of an active detail (let it be one: a bright belt emphasizing the waist), a complex cut or color contrast. The complementary base color is a less bright and unsaturated transitional color - from one tone to another, related to both colors in the color wheel or achromatic.

Monochromatic (or mix with achromatic tones):

A nuanced combination is the base color and shades close to it.

Veil shadow:

Achromaticity. Monotonous black, unfortunately, is not suitable for everyone. More often, the face of a woman in black (especially light-skinned and light-eyed blondes, brown-haired women) "fades" and looks older.

Universal gray

2. Contrast.

related colors. When a combination of related colors decreases the feeling of their saturation.

Contrast. Polar colors: yellow-violet, red-green, blue-orange.

The combination of contrasting colors allows you to increase the overall saturation.

3 . " In fashion, as in architecture, the main thing isproportions " , - Coco Chanel

The areas of color accents are inversely proportional to their brightness.

Horizontals and verticals in clothes will help change the proportions of the figure.

Emphasis on "problem" areas emphasize the shortcomings.

For example, a light skirt (lighter than the top) will look good on long, slender legs.

A full woman can wear black, which will help her hide her flaws. But you should not forget about the advantages. Add a couple of active elements, for example, in the chest area. (E. Khromchenko)

4. Balance

Equally bright colors same temperature can be considered neutral with respect to each other. Therefore, all pastels (a lot of white) are combined with each other. This rule applies primarily to sets with polar contrasts.

Add a small purse, large sunglasses and a brightly colored thick silk scarf to a casual day dress.

There is a rule for an evening set: one thing should shine. That is, either a dress or accessories. (E. Khromchenko).

5. Clarity and ease of perception

When the fur thing and the hair begin to merge together, the fur begins to work like your hair. It looks funny. (E. Khromchenko).

My only art is to use scissors to cut and simplify clothing while others complicate it. (Coco Chanel).

Avoid drawings that "ripple".

6. relevance and relevance.

Bright, very open and non-standard things are best worn in hot places, that is, in a resort. They will look great there. (E. Khromchenko).

In fact, all color schemes are just a hint, a help at a time when there is no inspiration, it is only a support. There is no dogma here. Because color for a person is, first of all, a feeling. These are emotions and associations that every color nuance pulls with it. The wider your experience of color perception of the world, the more diverse feelings a color can cause, the greater the number of color combinations that you consider acceptable, interesting, beautiful.

Fundamentals of Caloric. Nature .

Currently, they use a form of color theory, improved by the German art theorist Johannes Itten. Since the time of Aristotle, people have tried to somehow arrange everything in a single system. visible colors and summarize your observations. All systems of color constructions have one goal - to make color knowable, predictable, modelable. Johannes Itten developed "color chords" and changed the color wheel. The circle is based on three primary colors- red, yellow and blue. Composite colors are formed by mixing two main ones (blue + red = purple). Complex colors (intermediate, noble) is a mixture of basic and component:

red-orange (saffron),

yellow-orange (amber),

yellow-green (citrus)

blue-green (turquoise),

blue-violet (lilac)

and red-violet (magenta) shades.

Polar the colors are opposite each other. related- border on the color wheel.

The main classification divides all colors into chromatic and achromatic. Achromatic(colorless) are white, black and the whole gamut of shades of gray. TO chromatic colors include all colors of the visible spectrum, as well as brown (it is not on the color wheel, because there is no black).

Temperature of colors and shades

Blue, purple can only be conditionally warm or neutral. Neutral colors do not spoil anyone, and if they do not emphasize the natural color, they will not spoil anyone. Cold colors visually make the figure slimmer.

Green \u003d yellow + blue, the more yellow impurities in the color, the warmer its temperature.

Pure black is cooler than brownish black.

Milky white is warmer than snowy or pure white.

And mouse gray is warmer than steel, ashy.

Saturation (intensity, chroma)- color purity/strength, depends on the concentration of the coloring matter. The colors of the circle have the highest saturation.

Brightness expresses the degree of proximity of colors to white or black. Achromatic colors differ only in brightness - light or dark

monochromatic- unity of color tone.

Color combination tables

Color selection. Colors of nature.

The easiest waymake no mistake- use the theory of the seasons: autumn and spring types are warm shades, and winter and summer - cold. The face of a warm color type against the background of cold shades seems pale, tired, wrinkles stand out, the corners of the eyes droop. To a "cold" face, they give brightness, expressiveness, blush and favorably emphasize the eyes. Warm tones will make a "cold" face painfully yellowish.

Saturated bright colors look more harmonious on contrasting winter and autumn women. Summer and spring faces with weakly pronounced pigmentation are lost and fade against their background.

It is believed that the woman-summer type prevails in Russia. Black color looks spectacular on dark or contrasting winter women(it is cold), adds age to everyone else and gives a mournful look. Gray hair is considered a cool shade.

The combination of light and related "dull" ones (brown, purple, dark green and blue) will give your look a spring sound. The same "dull" colors in combination with dark ones - autumn-winter.
