valspar gray living room
challenged by choosing color? overwhelmedby all the options? here are some easy rules to remember to help you decode a display.there is an underlying organization to paint chip displays. not all brands use the samescheme, but most will at least group color according to 'temperature'.on the valspar display for example, the right side is where you'll find the cooler colors;dramatic dynamic blues, serene and soothing turquoise choices and natural relaxing greens.on the left side, are the warmer colors... lively and romantic reds, energetic excitingoranges, and uplifting happy yellows. within these basic zones, you also see saturationdifferences. the colors on the outside of the display are 'cleaner' -- brighter andcrisper. as you move toward the center, the
colors become more muted and quieter becausethere's more grey added in. if you're choosing more than one color, try to stay within thesame saturation level, which will make the palette feel more unified.when it comes to working with whites, stay in the same zone that your color came from.the whites displayed alongside the cool colors, complement them... the whites displayed alongsidethe warmer colors, complement them. remember cool with cool, warm with warm.so don't let all the choices chase you off, use these simple strategies to zero in onthe hue that's right for you.
