It’s wise to paint your walls the color you want. Please select your preferred color from the color wheel without registering. However, many individuals who are painting for the first time worry that they “want to paint the wall, but I don’t know how to choose a color” or “I chose a color I like, but is this color really good?” it might be. I’ll explain how to choose colors to reduce anxiety in this section.
Point 1 Mastering the color chart
Color charts can be categorized by color as well as by groups of related images.
Hip’s color wheel, for instance, is separated into four categories, “bright, muted, shade, and neutral,” which are made up of saturation and lightness, making it quite simple to locate the picture and color you’re looking for.
Point 2 Morning, noon, and night light
Light has a major impact on color. In the morning’s bluish light, the afternoon’s white light, and the evening’s warm incandescent light, colors appear differently. Focus on the time you spend in that space the most during the day and stick color chips to the wall to observe how it changes. Check carefully because certain colors—in particular, greens and blues—are easily impacted by the light source.
Point 3 Room direction
The direction of the space has an impact on color, too. A north-facing room, for instance, receives bluish sunlight that makes some colors appear a little duller, while a south-facing room, on the other hand, receives warm sunlight that makes some colors appear a little redder.
Point 4 color area effect
Painting a wall can make the color appear brighter or more vivid than it actually is. The illusion created by the human sight is what is changing, not the paint’s hue. I occasionally paint a color one shade deeper than the color I selected on the color chart to ensure that the color looks precisely as I had envisioned it to because the greater the area, the brighter the color and the more white it appears. Check out how it appears with the color chip attached to the wall.
Effects of Point 5 colors on emotions
Emotion and color are intimately related. Utilizing this effectively will allow you to design a room that serves the intended function. Use communicative colors like yellow and orange to set a joyful mood in the dining room or living room, and blues that improve concentration to set a calmer mood in the study.
Compatibility with the color of the Point 6 floor
There are generally four levels of floor color in Sri Lankan homes, and there is a technique to match the wall color to the floor color.
Bright maple material close to white
Its ability to blend in with any color is a feature. Darker hues will generate contrast and work well as an accent while lighter colors will enlarge the overall appearance of the space.
Natural oak with natural bark
Ideal for warm yellow hues. In addition, it conveys a stylish and contemporary vibe when coupled with blue.
Slightly reddish black cherry wood
The walls should be painted in warm colors.Warm hues work together to produce a high-quality warmth in the space.
Walnut wood with dark color
complements both light and bright hues as well as dark ones. One side of the room might be accented with a dark color to create a dramatic and emotional space.
Point 7 Gloss selection
Not “color,” but “gloss,” which is essential for paint, is another consideration when trying to maximize the available area.
