Product Information

Complementary colours create a high contrast, allowing both colours to boldly stand out and work well together. When you want a key feature to stand out, use complementary colours of your choosing. Alternatively, you can play with tints and shades. For example, use a lighter tint of blue (think pastel blue) contrasted with a darker orange (such as burnt amber). Split complements The colour wheel consists of six basic colours in a pie-chart formation. Red, orange, yellow, blue, green and violet make up the wheel. Red, blue and yellow are primary colours. With a combination of these colours, you get the rest. Orange, green and violet are what’s known as secondary colours. There are also tertiary colours, such as red-violet and blue-violet which are created by mixing a primary colour with a secondary colour. Warm and cool colours It’s available in flat matte, which has a 2% sheen, or soft sheen which has a subtle shine to it (35% sheen). The flat Matte option is perfect for bedrooms and living rooms, while the soft sheen is best for kitchens and bathrooms. It’s also available in eggshell, and exterior paint. Most of the time you'll simply be changing the colour of the walls and ceilings in any room, however if you're doing away with existing furniture and starting from scratch, then it's worth thinking about the colour of your new sofa, what kind of picture frames will be hung up and the tone and texture of your freshly laid carpet or flooring.

If you’re looking for a colour with a traditional history then Celestial Blue is a great choice. Little Greene chose the name for the shade from a colour card they found from the early 1800s – so it’s a shade that has been used for a large number of years.

Final Thoughts

Most property owners wish to make the most of the space they have - so it’s usually best to paint smaller rooms in lighter colours where possible. You can afford to be braver and go darker in large rooms, however. 2. What style of décor are you considering?

One of the most noticeable things about Farrow and Ball Green Blue is that the colour changes dramatically depending on the light. In fact, there are many people that will debate it is one colour whilst others insist it is another. Essentially though, it’s the perfect blend of green and blue. With warm colours, we tend to think of warm elements, such as sunlight and heat. These colours remind us of the sun, energy, joy and happiness. On the flipside, blue, green and violet tones calm and soothe. They remind us of nature, the sky, water, and even ice and snow. Most paint tins will bear instructions on them informing the user of how much paint will cover a certain area of wall. Remember, the majority of paints require two coats, but the guidelines will usually take this into account.

The dictionary definition is “a pale greenish-blue colour”; which does nothing to help the ongoing discussions surrounding which colour it actually is. On a colour wheel, it appears perfectly on the line between green and blue; so it is probably time to accept that it is officially a combination of the two colours. More than one colour in a single room can look great, but don’t go overboard. Keep it to three colours maximum. If you choose two bold colours, the third should be something neutral to give your eyes a break.

As well as being foolproof, its vast colour palette has won it a legion of fans. From deeply delicious shades of Aubusson Blue and Oxford Navyto glamorous Capri Pink(ideal for hot pink accents), there’s a colour for everyone.For a vintage look, distress your furniture with a dual tone effect using two similar colours, add a layer of Rust-Oleum Furniture Finishing Wax or Rust-Oleum Furniture Lacquer for the finishing touch A muted purple, such as lavender, along with a gentle yellow-orange with grey undertones make for a subtle colour scheme that is perfectly balanced. Paint a table lavender and the chairs amber for a dining room with a bit of interest. Pure whites, soft greys, neutral colours and metallics work very well for minimalist homes, as the focal points will be the craftsmanship of the property and the layout of the furnishings rather than any luxurious décor - bright colours are likely to prove distracting if you opt for minimalism. 3. What else will be on the surfaces you’re planning to paint?

There are a number of elements to consider when looking into wall and ceiling paints: 1. How big is the space? Neutrals aren’t for everyone, so if you want to add a splash of colour to your upcycling, look no further than Annie Sloan’s Chalk Paint. Invented by the lady herself more than 30 years ago, it can be used on walls as well as furniture. There’s minimal prep, too – depending on the surface you’re painting, you might not need to sand or prime at all.For a distressed finish; Apply 2 coats of the same or contrasting coloured or metallic paint, allow 4 hours between coats. Lightly sand to distress edges and reveal layers.
