One colour scheme that is widely used in decorating a room is using a complementary scheme. In this room the decorator has used a primary colour, (blue) and a secondary colour, (orange) to produce an interesting look.
Blue – Using the colour blue induces a calming feeling. Blue is perceived as the colour of intellect.
Orange – Using the colour orange increases drama in a room. Orange can be overwhelming as it is so vibrant. It might be wise to use shades of apricot instead of bright orange.
When blue and orange are married together in a room the intense drama of the orange is offset by the calming feeling of the blue. The orange will still retain its vibrancy.
