\n60% Main Color<\/h3>\n
The main color should represent 60% of\u00a0color\u00a0used in your room design. This typically includes the wall color, floor color (either carpeting or an area rug), and a furniture piece or two. It may also include the window treatment, such as curtains or draperies. All of these don\u2019t necessarily need to be solid colors, but the main color should always be prominent.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
\n30% Secondary Color<\/h3>\n
The secondary color will represent 30% of your d\u00e9cor color scheme. With only half the amount of color saturation as the main color, the secondary color doesn\u2019t compete for attention in your overall design. Instead, it should contrast with the main color. Being a different color, the secondary color creates depth and interest in your d\u00e9cor.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
\n10% Accent Color<\/h3>\n
The next color will be one-third of the secondary color and one-sixth of the main color. This color is designated as the accent color. Its purpose is to give greater interest and contrast to your color scheme. It should be used throughout the d\u00e9cor to draw the eye deeper into the room design.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
\nExample of 60-30-10<\/h3>\n
An example color scheme using the 60-30-10 rule includes:<\/p>\n
\n- 60% Gray main color<\/li>\n
- 30% Light blue secondary color<\/li>\n
- 10% Pink accent color<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n\n
Color Wheel<\/h2>\n
The\u00a0color wheel is a great guide to help match colors for interior design. This color circle presents the primary, secondary and tertiary (colors between primary and secondary colors) colors. There are two ways to use the color wheel for selecting a color scheme.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
