Color schemes, based on color theory, are used to describe how the colors are chosen and put together. You can think of a color scheme as your overarching color plan! There are many types of color schemes used in interior design, including monochromatic, analogous, complementary, and triadic, which we’ll dive into shortly. A color palette is the actual combination of colors (often six, but who’s counting?) that you’ve chosen based on the color scheme that will help you set the mood for a space. So let’s put it into perspective as if you were taking matters into your own hands! Because let’s be real: we know it’s bound to happen…
For example: If you were designing a room in your house (let’s say it’s an office), you’d start by choosing a color scheme to set the room's tone. Ask yourself, what colors energize you to do your best work? From there, you can pick a color palette that incorporates those colors in a functional and visually appealing way. This may involve choosing complementary or contrasting colors for walls, furniture, and accents and selecting fabrics, artwork, and accessories that work well together.

Warm-toned colors (think of a sunset: reds, oranges, yellows, and pinks) can make a space feel warm, inviting, and cozy. However, too many warm tones in one area can make a room feel closed off.
Cool-toned colors (greens, blues, purples, and variations of the three colors like grays, blues, silver, and most whites) can make a room feel grounded, calming, and clean. Using too many cool tones in one room can make a space feel cold and unwelcoming (there’s a reason they’re called cool-toned!).
Neutral colors (blacks, whites, and browns) are often paired with brighter accent colors to contrast a space. These colors add a sense of sophistication and professionalism to a space.
