Colour Systems

The Spinning Brewster-Prang colour wheel


The use of the Spinning Brewster-Prang colour wheel when designing is invaluable. 
Using a system like the colour wheel, which you can buy online or at an art store, is used to mix colours and is an excellent system for working out colour harmonies.
It is also a great way to put together a colour scheme.

When you use a colour wheel you can see how two colours will relate to each other. This works on the basic principals of the Primary, Secondary and Tertiary colours and their relationship to each other. It also shows the effects of tints tones and shades on a colour. By using the wheel you can create emphasis or create amazing visual effects with colours. An interior designer should have one of these wheels to help guild them on colour choices.

Pantone Colour System
 

 Another colour system is using Pantone colours. There are many different type of pantone books but they are used as a ways to standardize colours within a four colour print process. It is a book of solid process colour simulations. They are not cheap to buy but in the world of printing and graphic design you can't live without one.
