Low Key- its dominant values are black, dark brown or dark blue. - This image uses black and dark blues a lot - I think this room feels darker but also calm and like the colors arent screaming out

Q

Photo

High Key- primarily of light tones, without dark shadows. - All colors are light tones of grey and white- I feel as if this makes the room feel sleek and clean

Q

Photo

Triadic- a color scheme, a special variant of the split-complementary color scheme, with the equal distance between all colors. - Pink, blue, and orange all are a triangle on the color wheel- The room feels very young

Q

Photo

Split Complementary- is a color scheme using one base color and two secondary colors. - Blue as a base color and purple and orange as a secondary - I think it makes the room feel very bright and welcoming

Q

Photo

Complementary- a color that combined with a given color makes white or black. - Dark greys and black related colors - I think it makes the room seem very calm

Q

Photo

Analogous-Analogous colors are groups of colors that are next to each other on the color wheel.- Green and orange- The room looks very bright and like the spring season

Q

Photo

Monochromatic - Monochromatic (or mono) is a color scheme based on only one, single color tint.- Silvers and Greys - I feel like it makes the room look very clean and modern
