Hello friends we're keeping it coming with color combos
and I hope you enjoy this segment because color is such a huge part in any interior
decorating (design) process. Thus far we covered Analogous, Complementary
and Monochromatic color combinations and now we’re going to move on to a
little complex color combination. No, really there is such a color combination
that goes by the name Complex and without further ado we will tackle it.
Complex color schemes consist of color spaced around the
color ring in a variety of arrangements. Teal, magenta and mango, (intense versions
of blue-green, red-violet, and yellow-orange) are middle on the color wheel, in
a combination known as “tetrad.”A four color combination of equidistant colors,
such as green, red, yellow and orange, and blue-violet is known as a “tetrad.”
Complex color schemes are pleasing because they automatically balance visual
temperature, but they can be more challenging to put together than simpler
schemes. Friends I have to tell you, this was a bit complex for me to put
together for you today so let’s see what we came up with shell we? Here are a
few examples of complex color combinations below.
Tetrad
or ‘double complementary’ color schemes use four colors arranged into two
complementary color pair off. Like this:

| Tented and muted but very beautiful! |

| Complex and happy |
Mixing good design with complex color? Now that’s
my kind of color combo! Thanks friends for stopping by for this complex
lesson on color. I have to admit it wasn’t easy finding great rooms with this
color combo perhaps because it’s so complex. Anyhow let me know what you think
in your comments below.
