Primary matching method—matching the same color

Matching the same color is the simplest method and the least error-prone, which is to change the brightness and purity within a hue.

 

For example, in the green system, there are light green, grass green, dark green, olive green, etc. The brighter one is light green, and the darker one is dark green.

The matching of the same color system gives a sense of unity. Red, yellow, blue and other colors have their own homologous colors.

The salt type was originally used to describe boys who are fresh and simple. It is very consistent with the purpose of a simple style home. It can create a neat atmosphere when you move into your home.

The salt color scheme is mainly white and gray. It is very simple, but if you make some changes in the brightness and purity of the gray, it will not make people feel dull.

Intermediate matching method—adjacent color matching

Similar colors refer to three adjacent hues with an angle of 60° on the color wheel, and they match harmoniously. Such as red-orange-yellow, blue-blue violet-violet, etc.

 

The matching of similar colors without strong contrast makes people feel calm and comfortable, and can create rich textures and layers. It is also a commonly used color matching method in home color matching.Candy combination

Candy colors are generally bright colors and look good when paired with them. However, if they are directly used as sofa soft furnishings, it will make it difficult to match other soft furnishings.

At this time, there will be no problem if you reduce the brightness appropriately.

The less saturated bean paste red and ginger collide together, and the Nordic style also has colorful colors.

Advanced matching method—complementary color matching

 

Complementary colors are two colors that are opposite each other on the color wheel and create a strong contrast. Such as red-green, yellow-purple, etc.When matching complementary colors, we should pay attention to the primary and secondary relationship between the two hues. The main color has high brightness, and the secondary hue must have low brightness. The main color has a large area, and the secondary color has a small area.
