Question

---------------------------
Don’t forget to star if you like this question ... Hey this is only a reminder, not a request.

Answer 1

- The best colors for bedrooms are cool tones or neutral tones that promote sleep, that’s why I painted mine aqua.
- Kitchens are usually part of the family area so bright colors, most often yellow work best here.
- The color for a child’s room depends more on their personality since they don’t just sleep, but also live and play in them. I would avoid black though.

The Oriental Theory of Fung Shui colors is an Eastern Philosophy that has recently gained acceptance in the Western World. I don’t know much about it so I will refer you to some websites that do:

According to Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Color_theory
“Color theory has ascribed perceptual and psychological effects to this contrast. Warm colors are said to advance or appear more active in a painting, while cool colors tend to recede; used in interior design or fashion, warm colors are said to arouse or stimulate the viewer, while cool colors calm and relax. Most of these effects, to the extent they are real, can be attributed to the higher saturation and lighter value of warm pigments in contrast to cool pigments. Thus, brown is a dark, unsaturated warm color that few people think of as visually active or psychologically arousing.
Any color that lacks strong chromatic content is said to be unsaturated, achromatic, or near neutral. Pure achromatic colors include black, white and all grays; near neutrals include browns, tans, pastels and darker colors. Near neutrals can be of any hue or lightness.

Neutrals are obtained by mixing pure colors with either white or black, or by mixing two complementary colors. In color theory, neutral colors are colors easily modified by adjacent more saturated colors and they appear to take on the hue complementary to the saturated color. Next to a bright red couch, a gray wall will appear distinctly greenish.

Black and white have long been known to combine well with almost any other colors; black increases the apparent saturation or brightness of colors paired with it, and white shows off all hues to equal effect.

Color theory has long had the goal of predicting or specifying the color combinations that would work well together or appear harmonious. The color wheel has been adopted as tool for defining these basic relationships. Some theorists and artists believe juxtapositions of complementary colors are said to produce a strong contrast or tension, because they annihilate each other when mixed; others believe the juxtapositions of complementary colors produce harmonious color interactions. Colors next to each other on the color wheel are called analogous colors. They tend to produce a single-hued or a dominant color experience. Harmony has been sought in combinations other than these two. A split complementary color scheme employs a range of analogous hues, "split" from a basic key color, with the complementary color as contrast. A triadic color scheme adopts any three colors approximately equidistant around the hue circle. Printers or photographers sometimes employ a duotone color scheme, generated as value gradations in black and a single colored ink or color filter; painters sometimes refer to the same effect as a monochromatic color scheme.

The color wheel harmonies have had limited practical application, simply because the impact of the color combinations is quite different, depending on the colors involved: the contrast between the complementary colors purple and green is much less strident than the contrast between red and turquoise. They can suggest useful color combinations in fashion or interior design, but much also depends on the tastes, lifestyle and cultural norms of the consumer. When the schemes have proven effective, this is often because of fundamental contrast is between warm and cool hues (in this instance meaning hues on the opposite sides of the color wheel), contrast of value with darks and lights, contrast of saturated and unsaturated colors, or contrast of extension, when one color is extended over a large area contrasting another color extended over a very small area.
In the 20th century color theory attempted to link colors to particular emotional or subjective associations: red is an arousing, sensual, feminine color; blue is a contemplative, serene, masculine color, and so on. This project has failed for several reasons, the most important being that cultural color associations play the dominant role in abstract color associations, and the impact of color in design is always affected by the context.

Answer 2

I like yellow in the kitchen to bring in the sunshine. In my bedroom I like a sand color on the ceiling and a off white on the walls, this gives the room a larger effect, and you can change the color scheme as often as you want nothing will clash with the paint, children should be allowed to choose the paint color for their room, You don't replace the furniture in the living room very often so you can color coordinate with the furniture, mine is predominately blue so I have a floral wallpaper on the main walls with sparse light blue flowers. and a matching boarder on the wall without wall paper, I have matching boarder with a tan ceiling and antique white paint on the wall without wallpaper.. Colors do effect our moods. I try to have what I consider happy uplifting colors.

For kitchen, i would go for pure wooden based color.

For bedroom i would go for lavender and cream as it gives us a cool feeling.

For living, i would opt maroon and off-white. It simply looks marvellous.
