Importance of color
Color is a language. Color is one of the most fulfilling elements in our lives. Color can
attract your attention or change your mood. It speaks to who you are, how you feel and
where you're going. At Sherwin-Williams, we can help you put together the perfect colors
for your life.
Color is one of the first things you notice when you walk into a room. Is it any wonder
that color, and how you use it, is one of the most important decorating decisions you'll
make in your home? Inside your home, the latest colors and the way they're applied give
voice to your personality and décor.
Color sets a mood. From floor to ceiling, paint color reflects your style and makes a
personal statement of what home means to you.
Color unites one-of-a-kind accent pieces with manufactured items throughout your home.
Electrifying hues, inspired by technology, bring a touch of whimsy to spaces that also
feature natural carved wood, woven textiles and wrought iron. Bright colors are further
enhanced when paired with large areas of negative space.
Color attributes
Hue
Hue, saturation, and brightness are aspects of color in the red, green, and blue (RGB)
scheme. These terms are most often used in reference to the color of each pixel in a
cathode ray tube (CRT) display. All possible colors can be specified according to hue
saturation, and brightness (also called brilliance), just as colors can be represented in
terms of the R, G, and B components. In hue there are three types of colors primary,
secondary, and tertiary.

Value
Tint
The light tones resulting when white are mixed with a color. Much white makes a color
cold.
Shade
The shade of a color refers to how dark it is. It is the combination of a hue and black.
Thus, burgundy is a shade of red, hunter is a shade of green, and rust is a shade of orange.
Shades of a color offer a deeper and richer feeling in decorating and can be used to make
any room feel cozier.

Saturation
Saturation is similar to chroma in that a color is said to be more saturated if very little
gray is present. While there are distinct differences between the two dimensions, suffice
to say that a color space's outer edges will house the most saturated colors.
Color harmonies
Harmony can be defined as a pleasing arrangement of parts, whether it be music, poetry,
color, or even an ice cream sundae.
In visual experiences, harmony is something that is pleasing to the eye. It engages the
viewer and it creates an inner sense of order, a balance in the visual experience. When
something is not harmonious, it's either boring or chaotic. At one extreme is a visual
experience that is so bland that the viewer is not engaged. The human brain will reject
under-stimulating information. At the other extreme is a visual experience that is so
overdone, so chaotic that the viewer can't stand to look at it. The human brain rejects
what it can not organize, what it can not understand. The visual task requires that we
present a logical structure. Color harmony delivers visual interest and a sense of order. In
summary, extreme unity leads to under-stimulation, extreme complexity leads to over-
stimulation. Harmony is a dynamic equilibrium.

explanatory, starting from the top and going around clockwise they are: Yellow, Yellow-
orange, Orange, Red-orange, Red, Red-violet, Violet, Blue-violet, Blue, Blue-green,
Green, and Yellow-green.
Color Psychology
Like death and taxes, there is no escaping color. It is
ubiquitous. Yet what does it all mean? Why are
people more relaxed in green rooms? Why do
weightlifters do their best in blue gyms? Colors often
have different meanings in various cultures. And even
in Western societies, the meanings of various colors
have changed over the years. But today in the U.S.,
researchers have generally found the following to be
accurate.
Black
Black is the color of authority and power. It is popular in fashion because it makes people
appear thinner. It is also stylish and timeless. Black also implies submission. Priests wear
black to signify submission to God. Some fashion experts say a woman wearing black
implies submission to men. Black outfits can also be overpowering, or make the wearer
seem aloof or evil. Villains, such as Dracula, often wear black.
White
Brides wear white to symbolize innocence and purity. White reflects light and is
considered a summer color. White is popular in decorating and in fashion because it is
light, neutral, and goes with everything. However, white shows dirt and is therefore more
difficult to keep clean than other colors. Doctors and nurses wear white to imply sterility.
Red
The most emotionally intense color, red stimulates a faster heartbeat and breathing. It is
also the color of love. Red clothing gets noticed and makes the wearer appear heavier.
Since it is an extreme color, red clothing might not help people in negotiations or
confrontations. Red cars are popular targets for thieves. In decorating, red is usually used
as an accent. Decorators say that red furniture should be perfect since it will attract
attention. The most romantic color, pink, is more tranquilizing. Sports teams sometimes
paint the locker rooms used by opposing teams bright pink so their opponents will lose
energy.
Blue
The color of the sky and the ocean, blue is one of the most popular colors. It causes the
opposite reaction as red. Peaceful, tranquil blue causes the body to produce calming
chemicals, so it is often used in bedrooms. Blue can also be cold and depressing. Fashion
consultants recommend wearing blue to job interviews because it symbolizes loyalty.
People are more productive in blue rooms. Studies show weightlifters are able to handle
heavier weights in blue gyms.
Green
Currently the most popular decorating color, green symbolizes nature. It is the easiest
color on the eye and can improve vision. It is a calming, refreshing color. People waiting
to appear on TV sit in "green rooms" to relax. Hospitals often use green because it relaxes
patients. Brides in the middle Ages wore green to symbolize fertility. Dark green is
masculine, conservative, and implies wealth. However, seamstresses often refuse to use
green thread on the eve of a fashion show for fear it will bring bad luck.
Yellow
Purple
The color of royalty, purple connotes luxury, wealth, and sophistication. It is also
feminine and romantic. However, because it is rare in nature, purple can appear artificial.
Orange
Brown
