Natures Complementary Colors

Complementary colors are pairs of colors opposite on the color wheel. When placed next to each other, they create the strongest contrast of any two colors. Complementary colors surround us in nature.

Product Review

CeCe Caldwell’s Chalk Paint – I have recommended “Chalk Paint” many times and still do. It is the best product on the market for DIY. I drove past this coffee table on trash day three times and could not help rescueing it from the landfill.

I transformed this old worn out coffee table into a new table within one day with Ce Ce’s Chalk Paint. I used Vermont Slate for the base and Pueblo Pepper for the top. Chalk Paint works on all surfaces, no sanding required (I would wipe down the surface to remove any grease and grim). It dries quickly and with a top coat of wax or water based Polyurethane your done.

Color Basics

Color Relativity – Why does the same green paint color look warmer or cooler in different houses? Because of color relativity. Colors interact with one-another. The surrounding colors in the furnishings in a room can effect the wall color of that room.

Value of color works the same way, if the wall color seems darker it might be because the furnishings are lighter.
