In a word, the expression of color is expressed by contrast. What kind of color environment and effect you create depends entirely on your feelings, experiences and imagination. There is no fixed pattern.

TINT of indoor space. There are two typical color combinations. The first is to emphasize the harmony of color. In order to achieve a softer color effect, similar colors or adjacent colors are often used. For example, choose a main color, match other colors, pay attention to symmetry and order. The other is to emphasize the contrast and change between colors, choose more contrasting colors and complementary colors, and the form is arbitrary, free and informal.

(1) Pay attention to the main color of the indoor space. In order to coordinate the tone processing of the whole indoor space, color design should first determine a main color tone, and then consider the harmonious relationship with other colors. The center of indoor color generally refers to furniture and furnishings. After the color center is determined, we should also consider the color coordination of walls, floors, doors and windows and fabrics. The warmth, personality and atmosphere of color are all reflected by the main color, which should run through the whole space and change the local environment appropriately on this basis. Such as ceiling color, wall color, floor color, furniture color, display color, etc. Must obey a main color, so that the whole space can present a harmonious and perfect whole.

No matter what color you use, you can use one or two colors of black, white, gold, silver and wood to unify the tone of the whole space. Don't use too many colors in the main color, not more than three at most.

(2) Emphasis on color contrast and the use of decorative colors. Generally speaking, the main melody is relatively large, and the minor melody is relatively small. The interior color of traditional style requires harmony and unity, and only some local changes are made. Generally, the interior color of modern style is to set a main color tone first, and use similar colors and contrast colors to enliven the atmosphere without destroying the main color tone. The quiet color with strong brightness is the most suitable color for large-area ceilings and walls, which can give full play to its role as a background color. The main color combined with the contrast of large area background color and key color can play the role of finishing touch. Background color is often used as a small area color, which has higher chromaticity and brightness than background color. On the basis of unified tone, we can strengthen the color power, that is, repetition, rhythm and contrast emphasize the color effect of a certain part of the room. The indoor visual center strengthens its effect through color contrast, so that the indoor colors can achieve diversity and unity, change in unity, not monotonous and messy, and form a complete and harmonious whole.
