HARMONIOUS (OR ANALOGOUS)

COLOUR SCHEMES are when you have any tints and tones of colours in a 90 degree part of the colour wheel eg. Red violet, red, red orange.

If you select a colour, then use the colours either side on the colour wheel you have harmony.

Harmonious colours bring a sense of calm with no contrasting surprises

Add beiges to complement the harmony

When artworks use 90 degrees of the colour wheel to select the scheme, they work well in a room with neutral greys, whites, and black with pops of colours derived from the artwork.

Alternatively, you can use harmonious colours on all surfaces, creating more impact.
