This document discusses 8 color theory basics for interior design: 1) the color wheel, 2) color schemes including monochromatic, analogous, triadic, complementary, tetradic, and split complementary, 3) color temperatures, 4) color combinations, 5) psychological effects of colors, 6) color context, 7) color mixing, and 8) square color schemes. It provides descriptions of the color wheel and different color schemes including monochromatic, analogous, triadic, complementary, and split complementary.

4. 2. Color Schemes
Monochromatic:
A variety of tones out of the same hue create a single
or monochromatic scheme.
Analogous color scheme:
You can create it using colors that find a place next to
each other on the color wheel; for example, an ombre
color scheme.
Triadic:
You can create this triadic from hues that are spaced
out equally on the color wheel.
Complementary:
These are colors on opposite sides of the wheel. Upon
mixing two of these colors, the result will be a muddy
brown color.
Tetradic:
Variants of dual colors are distributed evenly across the
color wheel.
Split Complementary:
These are two colors on opposite ends of the color
wheel, with one of them split into two more adjacent
colors. For example yellow-green.
