Design Center: Digital Color Wheel
 Choose a bandwidth: high  low   Download Media player


Choosing color is one of the most difficult decisions to make when decorating a room or an entire home. Color is integral to design and architecture, so choosing the right color and/or color combinations is important.

Fortunately, there is color theory and the psychology of color to help you with these decisions. The psychology of color is explained under our "Color by Mood" section. Color theory is explained with this easy to use Digital Color Wheel.

The Digital Color Wheel teaches you about different Color Schemes, i.e. which colors go with what. You can choose your primary or reference color, then move the mouse over the different color schemes – analogous, split complementary etc. – to highlight all the colors that could complement your scheme.

There’s also a Color Combinations tool which is fun to use if you’re planning to mix your own colors, and a glossary to explain color terminology.

Have Fun. Feel free to Contact Us if you have any other questions about Color.
