I know this is not a very popular title, and I am guessing that it’s been asked by many a new home owner, but I’m always amazed at how many questions I get about paint colors in new construction. I hate to say it, but it’s because paint colors are something that are very subjective to the taste and skill of the painter.
Paint colors have long been a crapshoot for homeowners as the paint color used to be the only thing that could influence how a room looked. It wasn’t until the invention of the color wheel that a color could be selected and then just applied without the need to measure or look at the furniture.
The color wheel was developed by the French mathematician, Pierre-Simon Laplace. He invented the color wheel in 1795, which he called the “color-wheel” and which has long been considered the most important invention of all time. The color wheel was designed to allow the color of a paint to be changed simply by rotating the wheel. This is why we see so much variation in paint colors.
The color wheel could be used to determine color for clothing, home decor, and other things, but it’s also used to determine the hue of any object. In the case of a paint color, it is possible to use the color wheel to determine the hue. Let’s say you want to paint a room in a neutral color. To do so, you can start by rotating the wheel and finding the hue you want. You can then use the color wheel to determine that the hue is neutral.
So here’s the cool part for a paint color. You can use the color wheel to determine which hue makes up the true color of a thing. For example, if you paint your bedroom, you can determine that the color you chose is blue. If you then go to the color wheel and rotate the wheel, you can determine that the blue on the wheel is actually green. You can then use the color wheel to figure out what color is what.
This is one of the things I like about using the color wheel. Its versatility and ease of use mean you can use it to find the true color of anything that you paint. A kitchen sink, for example, can be red because that’s the original color. Or it can be black because that’s the original color. But if you paint it a shade lighter, you can change it to red. Then you can use the color wheel to figure out what you want your new sink to be.
This is actually an aspect of the color wheel that I really like. It’s the sort of thing where you can make your own color wheel out of any piece of paper, and then you give it some colors and say, “What color should this be?” So you can make a color wheel out of anything that you want really.
The Color wheel is one of those things that will make you wonder if you really did want to color your sink. I mean my last room’s sink was pink, and now it’s black and blue with pink in the middle. But I decided to make mine black and white instead because it just felt right.
I should have had the nerve to create a color wheel. I mean, of course I want to color it now, but the thought of actually doing it might have terrified me. I just wanted to get it out of the way before I tried to color it.
I just wanted to get it out of the way before I tried to color it. But I think I did the right thing. A color wheel is pretty much self explanatory, and it’s one of those things that only works if you actually want to make it. Otherwise you might as well not have a color wheel at all.
