Color theory in interior design involves organizing colors on a color wheel. The color wheel consists of primary colors like red, yellow and blue. Secondary colors are created by mixing primary colors, like green, orange and purple. Tertiary colors are made from primary and secondary colors. Warm colors represent energy and action while cool colors represent calmness. Color schemes in interior design include complementary, which pairs opposite colors, and triadic, which uses three colors evenly spaced on the color wheel. Distemper paint is a cheaper option for cement walls that lasts 3-4 years. Emulsion paint is water-based and easier to clean than oil-based paints. Enamel paint is oil-based and best for metal and

8. SO WHAT IS COLOR THEORY
Color theory is both the science and art of using color
It explains how humans perceive color; and the visual effects of how
colors mix, match or contrast with each other.
In color theory, colors are organized on a color wheel and grouped
into 3 categories: primary colors, secondary colors and tertiary
colors.

9. COLOR WHEEL
The color wheel consists of three primary colors (red, yellow, blue),
three secondary colors (colors created when primary colors are
mixed: green, orange, purple) and six tertiary colors (colors made
from primary and secondary colors, such as blue-green or red-
violet).

11. Warm colors are generally associated with energy, brightness, and
action, whereas cool colors are often identified with calm, peace, and
serenity.

21. The basic constituent of Distemper Paint is chalk, lime, and water. Distemper
Paint is also known as cement paint. This is called so because such kind of
paint can be applied directly on cement walls without any other coating on
them without using the primer. They are a cheaper option and they stay
good for more than 3 to 4 years
Emulsion Paint is water based paint. As compared to oil-based paint,
working with Emulsion Paint is far better. Many homeowners find it efficient
and suitable for their home. There are many benefits of applying Emulsion
Paint on walls like it’s easy to clean and maintain and it avoids the potent
odors that come from the oil-based paints.
Enamel:
Oil based paint
Most applicable for surface paint of metal and wood (Door, window, grills)
Glossy finish
