2 color theory The more you know about color, the more confident you ll be using it. Actually, you probably know more about color than you think. So let s put some technical terms around what you see in the colors around you every day.

3 Colors of the same family are referred to as Hues and are often shades of the same color. Using multiple colors from the same hue is a subtle and safe way of providing a warm but interesting contrast. Using warm and cool colors together, colors on the opposite side of the color wheel that Complement each other; can help to provide a more striking, bolder, or dramatic exterior design. Space affects how we perceive color, so keep in mind your surroundings, proportion and scale when making your color selections. Consider whether you want the exterior to feel bold or warm. Think about elements such as columns, corbels, shutters, fascia and roof color along with the number of windows on your home. A favorite technique of exterior designers is to use different materials and textures of same or contrasting colors in order to change their visual Temperature. Using different materials and textures of the same or similar color will help to add dimension to more monochromatic designs as well as add depth and make contrasting designs more appealing. Intensity (or chroma) refers to a color s purity or brightness and conversely, it s dullness. The purer or less gray a color, the more intensity it has. Bright yellow and cherry red are high-intensity colors; Autumn Leaf and Musket are low-intensity colors. Intense colors add energy to a homes exterior, while lower-intensity colors can give an exterior a more uniform look.

At every era of his existence and his history, the human being has associated colour with his joys, his actions and his pleasures. - Frenand Leger, On Monumentality and Color, 1943.
