Creating the Ideal Palette: Part 4

In the fourth and final installment of our "Creating the Ideal Palette"' series, we analyze the psychological properties of Black, White, and Grey - colors you may consider for any interior or exterior painting projects for your home or business. The tone of a room can be dramatically impacted by something as simple as wall color choice. Below, we present the final three colors.  

BLACK

Paint it Black! Black, a serious and somber color, doesn't always have to be about doom and gloom. It can also represent elegance and sophistication. While black threads can help make you look mysterious and...thinner, hints of black in a room's decor can add subtle beauty, making it visually engaging. Black is used best in modern spaces and works well when combined with white and grey tones. 

WHITE

White, the combination of all colors from the color spectrum, is refreshingly clean and fresh. White is perfect for creative spaces, and especially creative spaces for the little ones, because it evokes spirituality and peace. The kids may still make a mess, but at least you can cool off in a soothing atmosphere.  

GREY

Grey can be a tricky color to work with, but that certainly shouldn't dissuade you from trying. Because grey is neither here nor there, it can often seem flat; the room may feel like it lacks energy.  Grey can, however, be used effectively to make smaller spaces feel larger, an issue we discuss on our latest blog, "Grey: The Elegant Neutral". We'd love to hear your opinion on the matter!

Creating the Ideal Palette: Part 3

When it comes to choosing the perfect color palette for your home or business's exterior or interior, the vast array of possibilities can be intimidating. In Part 3 of our "Creating the Ideal Palette" series, we're tackling the color psychology of Purple and Brown. If you read Part 1 and Part 2 of the series you already know that color psychology is the study of colors and how they affect human behavior. 

PURPLE

Purple, the traditional color of royalty, is associated with wealth, prosperity, and sophistication. When combined with blue and red, some shades of this regal color have more of a calming property, while other shades have a more sensual appeal.

Use the color purple in rooms where you wish to spark creativity and spirituality. 

BROWN

Brown is associated with reliability, comfort, and friendship. It can be used effectively in work spaces to cultivate stillness and encourage the peace of mind of a writer or artist. Lighter shades of brown go conveniently well with boldly colored furniture and accessories.
