Basic Colour
This hue creates the “canvas” on which the ambient is composed. It need to be warm in colour but neutral. For instance, the floor, walls, drapes, and fixtures should all have comparable gradations of the same hue.
Contrast Colour
The contrast colour, which is often a darker or brighter hue, interacts with the underlying colour. It is only used for a select few pieces of furniture or structural components, such a sofa or carpet, or a wall (yes, walls may be painted differently from one another).
Rupture Colour
The contrast colour brings the entire environment to life by disrupting the harmonic interaction between the base and contrast colours. It need to be saved for a few components. This colour should stand out significantly from the base and contrast colours; thus, choose white or black, a contrasting colour from the other end of the colour wheel.
