Now that you are aware of these facts, choosing the perfect color scheme for your home may seem like somewhat of a daunting task. But with a little information and a few simple tips, you will be well on your way to enjoying your new paint job.
Different colors have different properties and different effects upon people's feelings and emotions. Color evokes an emotional response from us almost immediately. Here are a few more common colors that are often used to paint interiors:
Green: Green is a very relaxing natural color. It is perfect for bedrooms and often used in kitchens combined with brown to create an organic effect.
Red: Red is one of the most powerful color choices. Dark shades of red are good used in living rooms to create a comforting homey atmosphere. Using red as an accent color can definitely make a bold statement.
Black: This color can create a striking and dramatic effect. It has to be used in smaller proportions, though. Painting an entire room black would be a bit overwhelming. This is better as an accent color.
White: Peaceful and clean, white is a popular choice with hospitals. Using black and white can create a stunning combination.
Blue: This is a color that will calm your spirit. However, it is also a cold color, so it is not recommended for cold climates or rooms without a window to let the sun stream inside. Many people choose this color for bedrooms and bathrooms, places where they want a calm relaxed feeling.
