☼ color scheme rooms

Monochromatic 

For my monochromatic room I chose the color blue to create a sort of relaxation room. By using the color blue, as well as its varying shades and tints, I made a room that gives off a very calm vibe. You could read in this room, or just hang out in it. Maybe on the other side of the room have a TV and just have a chill time bumming it and watching Netflix.

Analogous 

You can see a lot of pink and red here, which are the color variations that I really wanted to to because a lot of bright colors are out of my comfort zone. By using 2 bright (as well as warm) colors, it really gives this room a sense of action and almost screams at you to be awake and to have fun. I not only did that, I also made the room very symmetrical with a stand-out piece on the back wall to round the room together as something that is clean and more modern.

Split-Complementary

As for my split-complementary colors, I picked blue, pink, and yellow. Yellow and pink are brighter, which give the room an energetic feeling, while adding blue in creates a very well-rounded room. There isn't an overpowering sensation of cool colors, nor is there too much of the cool colors. I believe I created a very balanced game, TV, or even party room.

Triadic

Last but not least are the triadic colors I used. Purple, green, and orange were my chosen colors and if I was honest, the only reason I picked these was simply because in my mind, I didn't think they'd look all that great together. When I was putting the room together for some reason I kept putting yellow in instead of orange because my mind was telling me that this color combination wouldn't work. However, I was pleasantly surprised once I got done though, and I did really like my mix of rustic and modern style for this office space. I think the colors combined make a very creative-looking space that is sure to never let you down when trying to come up with new ideas. 

☼ color text questions

Questions on Color

1. Certain colors can trigger possible past experiences in a person, such as the color of a room could be the same as the color of your first car, therefore making you think back to that time when you had said car. Each color is also represented by certain emotions, and that plays into this as well.

2. Red is an aggressive color, green is calm and refreshing, and violet is regal and dignified.

3. Orange, green, and violet are the secondary colors. Equal amounts of red and yellow make orange, same with yellow and blue to make green, and red and blue to make violet.

4. Green-Blue

5. Hue is the actual color itself (like the name), while value is the lightness or darkness of the color, saying it's bright or dark.

6. Tint is a lighter variation of a color, shade is a darker variation, and tone is when you soften a color to make it appear only slightly different.

7. By adding a neutral color to a hue, it bumps down the intensity and makes it a tint or a shade.

8. Red and orange are warm, blue and violet are cool colors.

9. Monochromatic uses only one hue from the standard color wheel, complementary uses two opposite colors, split-complementary uses one hue with two opposite hues, double-complementary uses two hues, and those two hues opposites, analogous uses related hues from the color wheel, triadic uses 3 colors that are equal distance apart on the color wheel, and neutral uses colors like black and white.

10. If you stray from the colors harmonies, the room could look sloppy or mismatched, and also the amount of light you put in a room influences planning.

11. You must follow one of the color harmonies, and also make sure the room is not too bright or dark, depending on what you want the room to be.

13. For the warm color client, I would suggest darker light to make the colors less abrasive, or else the area could be too bright and loud for a room to read in. I would tell the cool color client to have possibly darker cool colors to invoke more calm, and to make reading much better and even feel more relaxing. Depending on the colors, the light in the room could either make the room very loud and bright, or dark and more soothing.

☼ textures

Visual

1. I added bricks in the background in order so give the mostly smooth room some added spice, as I would call it.

2. The sunburst mirror adds an almost hardcore feel because of the spikes.

3. The headboard of the bed is also textured with the small squares of fabric which give the bed more dimension.

4. The whole room (save the bricks) just looks smooth, with the light wooden floor it gives the room a smooth and modern feeling.

Tactile

1. Again, I chose the brick because when you touch it, it is rough and calloused, and can even chip a little bit.

2. I put in the clock on the top of the room because it has a lot of smooth lines, and when you feel it it would be even and very smooth.

3. Another thing would be the blue globe lights on the ceiling because of their glossy look, and would be incredibly smooth and it almost gives the room a tad bit of elegance.

4. The deer decoration on the wall was one of my favorite pieces, simply because it has smooth and jagged places that you could touch it.

Audible

1. The headboard is being used again, because we all know what soft fabric feels like when you run your hand across it, but it also makes a nice sound, so I am also including the covers of the bed itself.

2. The brick, once again, also has an audible quality with the fact it is rock, and you can knock on it or scratch it, and it'll make a sound.

3. I think another audible are all the lights, because they would certainly make noise when turning them on or off, and in the case of the globe lights they might even swing a little bit depending on what you hang them with.

4. The last audible is the geode decoration on the bedside table, because that also sounds like a rock when banged together, scratched, or dropped, but also has that smooth side that has a completely different sound.

I think by putting all these things together, I created a room that has equal parts smooth and rough, with hints of different shapes here and there. In my opinion, the room looks almost like a musicians room, because of the different creative aspects and the tame colors. I also put in a blend of a bit of cool tones (blue and silver) with the warmer tones (red and gold) to make a well-balanced bedroom.
