Like Colors

Colors are either “warm” or “cool”. Colors that are similar in temperature (warm or cool) always produce harmonious color combinations. If you paired blue and green in a room or warm beige with brown in a hallway, they would work well together and be pleasing to your guests.

Monochrome Works

Monochrome is displaying a single color or different shades of a single color.
