Color Therapy: Afternoon Sky Color Scheme

Greetings!

Colors of the day is a view which I took from some times ago when the sky looked sooo beautiful in orange and purple combination.

Now let's talk about the colors!

Tangerine

First we have Tangerine color that sometimes this color related to Autumn color scheme because it reminds us about the pumpkin's color shades. Tangerine is basically washed orange color which brings cheerfulness and coziness at the same time. Tangerine color always reminds us about the falling leaves during Autumn, beautiful and amazing.

Black

Black represents the silhouette of the houses in the picture. Black can make everything so calm but depressed if you use too much black because it gives you dark mood and creepy feelings. Black also represents the power and control because when there is Black, it usually makes every bright colors surround it becoming darker.

Mauve

Mauve is one of the purple colors family. It has more blue and a bit red in combination. This color represents a mysterious ambiance. It's a good color for daydreaming and give emotional feelings for the user. The color is also allowing us to get a deeper thoughts and get some introspective from the inside of our soul.

Grape

Grape color is more red than blue in purple shades. Like a grape fruit, this color can give us the sweetness and good memories that we experience so far. It also reminds us about gratitude for all what we have. Grape color is rather happier than any purple colors because its joyful feelings about our life now.

Today's color scheme is fit for your Autumn decor if you decided to decorate your house during this season. Here are some inspirations that we got from Pinterest. Enjoy!

Color Therapy: Scandinavian Inspired Color Scheme

Greetings!

Today's Color Therapy session inspired by the Scandinavian style. We've been into it lately for some reasons. First, we have an upcoming interior kiosk project in hospital which the owner really loves about clean and simple look. Second, we were taking a break to take a visit to IKEA store. So, yeah, we've inspired a lot by the style! :D

Let's talk about the color scheme of the week.

Black

Black is one of the neutral color that the darkest color in color spectrum. People who loves black that much rather have a good protection of themselves and mysterious. Black hides lights and blocks all the external things into inside. But black is not all about the negativity. In fashion industry, black can make your body slimmer and thinner. It's all about the illusion of the black color can give. Not only that, we need blackout when we are sleeping to release the Serotonin that makes us sleep well at night. Black also gives a sense of power and control like the Greek mythology used for Hades.

White

White is the opposite of black. It's a lightest color in color spectrum and has a pure and clean ambiance whenever we use it. So that, most of the wedding decor has white as a symbol of purity of a new life chapter. White is about perfection and completion. White also related into the beginning of a creativity, like a blank canvas. It is a base to starting something. Most of the gods in every mythology, even Jesus Christ, always be drawn in white clothes. White brings light and hope.

Caramel

It's a brown family member which so sweet and gives a mood booster. Caramel color is rather a natural color related to wooden texture or soil. Caramel has a lighter brown that brings you comfort and honesty. Whenever you need extra sugar boost, just add the caramel!

Charcoal

Basically it's a dark grey color. It's a compromising color since it's between white and black. It can give you stress relief of outside matters. But charcoal can give you stability and control. But too much grey can make you depressed and sad. So you must add another color to balance the ambiance.

We've found some interior inspirations from Pinterest for some cafe at some place. Enjoy!

Black is dark. Black is evil. Black represents the death. But black is neutral. It fits to any colors, like red, white, and even gold. 
For some people, black color around them is making a depressed feeling. But in the other side, there are people say that black is the new sexy. But it looks very nice when you match the color with white or even a wooden pattern.
