1. Begin on page 259 and take notes on the terms below. Glue a mini color wheel beside the definitions of the terms in red. Color schemes (color harmony) Monochromatic Analogous Complementary Split-complementary Triadic Neutral Accented Neutral

2. Objective 3.03:Implement color schemes in housing interiors.

3. Color Schemes • Groups of colors that work well together are called color schemes • Color schemes are selected in order to create a mood or set a tone • Pleasing color schemes can be created based on the color wheel

4. 1. Monochromatic • The simplest color scheme because it uses a single hue from the color wheel • Variation is achieved by changing the value and/or intensity of the hue.

5. Monochromatic color schemes have a soothing effect; but they can become boring.

6. Monochromatic schemes can make a room appear larger.

11. 2. Analogous • A color scheme using 3-5 colors next to each other on the color wheel • Works best if you choose one dominate color and use smaller amounts of the others • Since analogous colors are related, they blend together well.

12. Yellow, Yellow-Green, Yellow-Orange, Orange

13. Yellow, Yellow-Orange, Yellow-Green

14. Blue, Blue-Green, Green, Yellow-Green, Yellow

15. 3. Complementary • A color scheme using colors opposite each other on the color wheel • Complementary colors make each other look brighter and more intense.

16. Violet and Yellow

17. Blue-Green, Red-Orange

18. Tints of Green and Red

19. Blue and Orange

20. 4. Split Complementary • A color scheme using one hue and the two hues on each side of its complement.

21. Yellow, Red-Violet, Blue-Violet

22. Green, Red-Orange, Red-Violet

23. Yellow-Green, Violet, Red

24. 5. Triadic • A color scheme using three colors equally distance from each other on the color wheel • The triadic scheme offers high contrast while retaining harmony.

25. Red, Yellow, Blue

26. Red-Violet, Yellow-Orange, Blue-Green

27. Violet, Orange, Green

28. 6. Neutral • A color scheme using whites, blacks, grays and beiges.

32. Small amounts of color are sometimes added to neutral color schemes to give the room more interest • This scheme is called an accented neutral.

44. One more time…….

45. Create Color Scheme Flash Cards You will need: • 3 note cards • 6 mini color wheels • Color pencils • Create 1 flash card for each color scheme. (use front and back). • Define the scheme. • Make an example on the mini color wheel and attach to the card. • Neutral colors are NOT on the color wheel. • For the accented neutral

46. Create Two Color Schemes • Choose a picture and fold in half • Choose 2 color schemes: • Monochromatic • Analogous • Complement • Split-complement • Triadic • Neutral or accented neutral • Color each of the 2 halves one of the color schemes you chose • Attach a mini-color wheel to each side that represents each color scheme
