"Red has guts. deep, strong
dramatic."
- Garavani Valentino, Designer
Red is the most powerful colour.
Rich and intense, romantic and
passionate or hot and
flamboyant - red can make
many statements. Chosen with
any colour it always adds energy
and excitement. Red never goes
unnoticed.

3. Pink
"The very pink of
perfection."
- Oliver Goldsmith,
Playwright
Pink is the soft side of Red.
Pink can be subtle, subdued
and refined or lively, hot and
trendy. It's most accepted as
unconditional love -
nurturing, comforting and
always there.

4. Orange
"It's amazing how it cheers one
to shred oranges."
- D H Lawrence, Novelist
Orange is a stimulating and
energizing colour. Spicy orange
can be warm and appetizing while
peach tones can be welcoming and
pleasing. Choose orange with any
colour to bring energy and cheer
in the air.

5. Yellow
"There are painters who transform
the sun into a yellow spot, but there
are others who, thanks to their art
and intelligence, transform a yellow
spot into the sun."
- Pablo Picasso, Painter
Yellow is the happiest colour in the
spectrum associated with warmth, action
and joy. Paired with any other colour it
marks the area as a 'day’ space. Lighter
colour shades are more accepted but use
brighter ones for playful or graphic
decors.

6. Green
"The winds will blow their own
freshness into you, and the storms
their energy, while cares will drop off
like autumn leaves."
- John Muir, Writer
Shining like the new leaves of spring,
yellow-greens give a smacking fresh
citrus taste with their presence. They
make for striking combinations with
any colour. Yellow-greens always
bring smiles and good cheer in the air.

7. Blue - Green
"I love the sea's sounds and the
way it reflects in the sky. The
colours that shimmer across its
surface are unbelievable."
- John Dyer, Poet
Blue - greens bring the cool calm
waters of a tropical beach closer
home. Like flowers in nature,
these colour schemes enhance
setting and create a serene and
stress-free feeling.

8. Blue
"I never get tired of the blue
sky."
- Vincent Van Gogh, Painter
Blue is tranquility. It's the colour
of openness and optimism. It
complements beautifully with a
wide range of colours creating a
feeling of nurturing and ease.
Create a calm and relaxed feel
using light to medium range
blues or a regal and dignified
feel using the darker blues.

9. Violet
"I think it makes God angry if
you walk by the colour violet in
a field somewhere and don't
notice it."
- Alice Walker, Novelist
Violet is the colour of royalty. It
also has a mystical side. Choose
any shade of violet to infuse a
sense of luxury in the air. Violet
also has a meditative quality that
makes it a colour of clarity and
foresight.

10. Brown
"God has a brown voice."
- Anne Sexton, Poet
Brown can evoke as many moods
as there are many colour shades. It
can be rich and sophisticated,
warm and comforting or neutral
and secure. Chosen with any
combination, brown always stays
unaffected by passing fads and
styles.

11. Gold
"Much have I travelled in the
realms of Gold. And many Godly
states and kingdoms seen."
- John Keats, Poet
Metallic colors have been a part of our
culture in fabrics, jewellery,
furnishings and accessories. Metallic
colour shades are timeless, eternal in
their sheen. Their shine and shimmer
infuses glamour and sophistication to
any decor. Paired with light colors they
make a statement of elegance, with
darker colour shades they create a
bold, luxurious ambience.

12. Gray
"The colour of truth is
gray."
- Andre Gide, Novelist
Gray is elegance. Gray
brings sophistication and
modernity with its presence.
Use it with dark colour
shades for bold artistic
statements and with light
shades for timeless elegance.

13. Black & White
White has many associations and one of
the most important of these is that of
cleanliness. A white room is open and
airy, perfect for allowing those tasty
aromas circulate without creating an
atmosphere that is heavy and
overwhelming. An overabundance of
white can seem to many to be too
bright, too brilliant, and the
introduction of a second color is the
perfect antidote. A combination of
black and white is a wonderful color
scheme. These simple colors are
suitable for recreating any look, from
contemporary to cottage chic, and their
simple contrast can be expressed in a
multitude of different ways, allowing
your family create a room that is just
right for you.

14. Mere colour,
unspoiled by
meaning and
unallied with
definite form,
can speak to
the soul in a
thousand
different ways;
Oscar Wilde,
Playwright
