Resene X Factor Confidence with colour When it comes to finding inspiration for colour there are no strict rules. However, the more knowledge you have about colour and its influence on your living environment, the better placed you will be to choose colours that will be right for you. Colours generally work best when related to their surroundings, with the final result of a successful colour scheme being one of harmony, visual order and a feeling of continuity. Choosing a precise paint colour from postage stamp sized printed samples has always been difficult. The colour looks okay in a small swatch but what will it look like once the entire room is painted? Subtle differences that may seem unimportant on colour charts are glaringly obvious once the colour is painted onto a wall. Many people who are confident and assured about most aspects of their lives lose all confidence when trying to mix and match colours. You should always follow your own instincts. Decide what appeals to you and what you feel good about and use this as your starting point. There are no fixed rules about colour. It pays to forget all those old adages, such as blue is cold, red and orange clash, blue and green should never be seen and so on. The finished look is affected not just by the colour, but by the shape, texture and amount of colour used, as well as the amount and type of lighting. Humans respond psychologically to colour. While we associate yellow with happy faces, smiles and cheerfulness and white as neutral and restful, too much black may depress the spirits. By manipulating the colours in a scheme, we can change a room from a happy welcoming room into a clinical, cold room. Think of the cosy dining room of a local café painted in rich colours to create a feeling of warmth and trigger a desire to eat. 3
