Kitchen color schemes

The colors of the kitchen interior can be achromatic (gray, white, black) or chromatic (having a color tone). Achromatic interiors in kitchen design are rarely taken as a basis for room decoration.

It is believed that such an environment plunges the owner of the house into apathy, generates color hunger (and can even cause depression!). There is several ways get out of this situation:

• Creation of a dynamic achromatic pattern;
• Dilution with a bright contrasting accent of achromaticity.

Monochrome

Solid color schemes involve the choice of one color in the interior. Different effects are achieved by varying the intensity of the base color.

These colors are sometimes referred to as analog colors, since 2 or more colors are involved in the color scheme. The main difference is the neighborhood on the color wheel (for example, green and blue). One of the colors is dominant, and the second serves for accentuation. The use of adjacent colors creates a relaxing ambience in the interior.

Best combinations:

• The colors that are at the vertices of the triangle inscribed in the color wheel are perfectly combined with each other;
• Colors that are opposite each other perfectly harmonize (for example, orange with blue, yellow with purple);
• Neutral colors (eg bluish gray) are in harmony with all colors of the spectrum;
• You can use blotches of colors close in tone;
• Use no more than 5 shades and colors so as not to overload the interior;
