Anyone who's renovated their home without an interior designer knows what a task it is to pick out the right colors that go with your decor, complement your natural lighting, and also feel like an expression of 'you'. There are infinite combinations available that can easily lead to overwhelm, but how do you know which is the most reliable option?
According to Helen Shaw, paint expert at Benjamin Moore, choosing the perfect pairing has a lot to do with color theory. ‘Deciphering what colors go well together depends on where on the color wheel they sit,' she says. 'Consider creating a monochromatic scheme that uses varying levels of saturation of one color or, alternatively, an analogous scheme uses adjacent colors on the wheel.'
