This is the first time you'll see something that you'd actually expect me to be doing right? Paint swatches are so much fun, I've loved stealing samples from stores since I can remember. However, this is the first time I've worked with gouache (opaque watercolors) in months, so forgive the muddy colors. The scanner also yellowed it up.
Here is my first example of a split complementary. A color from the red family, yellow-green, and blue-green, brown being an accent color. Sample of the Beverly Hills Hotel swimming pool.
Neutral colors... Well they're mostly white. So the scanner failed to pick them up. The accent colors were the light brown of the wood on the desk and chair legs, and the green of the plant on the desk.
A green monochromatic. I don't think it can get any better than this. This is a museum in Germany, I believe, don't quote me on that. So clearly the main colors are all different shades of green, with orange randomly tossed in there as an accent on the bus.
Tiny picture, sorry about that! This is a restaurant that uses complementary colors to create an atmosphere. The wood on the ceiling is lit to a deep orange with blue tile work on the walls. Accent colors are the white linen tablecloths and the true green of decorative plants.
Analogous colors are usually some of my favorite color schemes. I absolutely loved this room the moment I saw it, with the deep red carpet and deeper purple walls .The pop of blue in the chair and orange in the painting as well as desk objects really made this a great room. A deep gray is the accent in the desk.
