Focusing on color can drive many of us a little crazy or insecure. I have found a number of sources online who have declared that they have found the answer to creating a color scheme. Most assume that you know more than you probably do about color. Here is one (www.InvitingHome.com) that makes a lot of sense.
Of all the decorating elements in your rooms, nothing is more revealing than the colors you choose. What's right for one person's color palette isn't necessarily right for the next person. Just as each unique soul is on his or her own spiritual quest, each person has an exclusive color scheme.
When you decorate a room, you are an artist dressing a three dimensional space. Choosing a color scheme for a room is similar to putting together a wardrobe: first you pick one key color 'to be the dominant hue, and then you incorporate secondary colors that work with the key color. How you select a key color and combine it with other colors is a very personal experience. One color should dominate a space. It is the North Star, the lead actor. Be careful that the key color you choose lends itself to complementary shades and hues; these will support the key color's mood and spirit.
When people speak of hue, they are referring to color-red, orange, yellow, blue, green, violet. If you mix one hue with another, it changes the hue, or the color. A hue's value refers to its lightness or brightness.
