TONAL COLOURS FOR A MONOCHROMATIC COLOUR SCHEME
These colours are variations of the same group on the colour wheel. These combinations will create an environment that is both soothing and relaxing. The monochromatic colour scheme is easy to co-ordinate, creates a sense of balance and has aesthetic appeal.

CONTRASTING COLOURS FOR A COMPLIMENTARY COLOUR SCHEME
These colours sit opposite each other on the colour wheel. For best results, choose a dominant colour and use its complementary colour for accents, like placing cool colours against warm ones, eg blue vs orange.

HARMONIOUS COLOURS FOR AN ANALOGOUS COLOUR SCHEME
These colours are adjacent to each other on the colour wheel. One colour is used as a dominant colour while the others are used to enrich the colour scheme. Harmonious colours are an easy way to add elegance to any room.
