You might already know that I am crazy for Pinterest. I get so many ideas for mydeco designs, and have been using it to improve my understanding of colour. Lots of cool people have created the most amazing inspiration boards based on colours – whether colour wheel colours (like blue and blue-violet) or color names (eg aqua and fuchsia).
I am collecting rooms based on each of the twelve colours in my Red-Yellow-Blue colour wheel, and all the variations of those colours. I find this really trains my eye, especially with the tricky low saturation colours. Some people focus on the high saturation versions of the colours – but I find the low saturation ones much more interesting.
Here are some of the rooms I’ve collected for yellow-orange. Click on the image to see more.
I hope to do this for all twelve colours. Gosh, mydeco vs Pinterest (vs sleep). It’s gonna be a tough battle.
