Living Room Colors | Living Room color ideas

Everybody is familiar with the concept of ‘color wheel’. Understanding the color wheel and color psychology helps in easy decipherment of room colors and moods they create. There are three primary colors in the color wheel – red, blue and yellow. When these 3 primary colors are mixed, we get secondary colors, which are violet (a combination of red and blue), green (a combination of blue and yellow) and orange (a combination of red and yellow). One half of the color wheel has cool colors, which are blue, violet and green and the other half consists of warm colors, which are red, orange and yellow. Let us take a look at the different room colors and moods which they produce, which will help you in selecting the color that you can use to paint your rooms.

There are so many colors for rooms from which one can choose but it is important to understand room colors and what they mean, before making the final decision. If you are wondering what color to paint a room, then here is your answer. Given below is a list of the various room colors and emotions they produce,which will help you select colors of rooms for your house.

White: White gives a peaceful and calm mood to a room. So, it is best suited for bedrooms and bathrooms. However, white can give a sterile, hospital-like feeling, so make sure you decorate the wall trim and sidings with bright shades of blue, red or any other bright color. The popular alternatives to white are beige and gray. You can always try various interior paint colors and ideas, on the white walls to make them more attractive. There are many simple paint room color ideas. Here is one of them – paint one wall (the best choice would be the wall behind the bed), a calming shade of green and decorate the remaining three white walls with stencil designs in the same shade of green.

Black: Black is a bold color and can produce different moods. It can make a room sophisticated and stylish. A popular shade of black is gray, which creates a formal and balanced mood. To balance the color black, use light colored furniture in shades of beige or ash. You can also hang vibrantly colored paintings on black walls, and make the room look funky. This color is suitable for painting the living room and gray, which is a shade of black can be used for bedrooms, living rooms or bathrooms. But black is associated with negativity and darkness and should be employed with care, especially when used for interior painting. White and black are both popular feng shui bedroom colors.

Blue: Blue is a popular color for painting interiors and is suitable for all rooms, especially the bedrooms and bathrooms. Blue gives a calm and cool mood to a room.
