Savoir marier les couleurs, c'est facile !

Dulux Valentine

To match colors well in the decoration, it is enough to know a few basic concepts that will prove indispensable. On the chromatic circle, which represents the different colours, the three primary colours, yellow, red and blue, are first placed. When these colors are mixed together, the secondary colors are obtained. Remember, this is what you learn when you're young at school: the mixture of yellow and blue produces green, red and blue produce purple, and red and yellow create orange. From these secondary colors, it is now possible to discover which complementary colors are. Thus, red and green face each other, blue and orange, as well as yellow and purple.

When you put these complementary colors together in the decoration, you are sure not to attack the eye or create disgust. However, you can quickly get tired of complimentary colors that are too frank. The right trick is to nuance these colors to match them together. Red declinations, such as pink, associated with layette blue, rather than bright orange and azure blue, are relied on. We marry khaki green with a fuschia, a dark yellow ochre with a Parma.

Combine up to three colors

This rule is well known to fashion enthusiasts, it also applies to decoration. When the colours are assembled together, one does not exceed three different shades. Of course, in these three colors we do not count the walls and ceiling that could remain white, since the white decor is not a color per se (but the sum of all the colors). However, these three colours are rarely evenly distributed in the room.

Nuance, degrade and bet on a camaïeu of colors

Dulux Valentine

One of the tips to make sure you match the colors well is to bet on only one hue, which we will decline to the next. We simply modulate this color, by playing on its different shades to create a camaieu (bright red, brick red, fuschia, pink...), by playing on its "value", that is, by its clarity or darkness, and its intensity, or by betting on a downgrade.

For example, one does not rely on monochrome, but breathes Klein blue points alongside a water blue, marries an old rose with a glowing fuschia, creates a gradient as if the colour had faded by adding more or less white to the chosen hue. So many variations that create happy and successful combinations of colors for sure.
