Balance

When choosing an accent colour in a room I naturally gravitate towards the complementary colour system because it brings balance to a room. When studying art at college it was evident that the expert artists would pull their paintings together, bringing balance with the same complementary colours system. Balancing warm and cold, pulling out a colour from an array of neutrals and shades, juxtaposing metallics with softer textures etc… Here is a colour wheel to help you visualise how to balance the colours in the room. You may recognise the painting on the right is one of Van Gogh’s most well-known pieces of work and here we see one of the famous artists balancing the painting perfectly. Complementing the most predominant colour in the painting (indigo) with its complementary colour (warm yellow) creates a peaceful and tranquil atmosphere.
