Blue can be a cold colour, but lighter tones are just right for creating a fresh, airy feel. Here, a deep turquoise has been used for the unit doors with a lighter blue painted on the walls. Mosaic tiles in matching tones with hints of green mixed in make a colourful, coordinated splashback.See Also Red And Blue Pigments:In mixing colors with white, gray, or black pigments one will usually find that the resultant colors turn slightly blue. There is an unseen bluish element in these neutral pigments. Mixing any of these pigments with blue, the additional tinge is not visible; but mixing them with red and blue pigments or yel¬low, a purplish or greenish tinge will respectively be noticeable. This must be corrected in such mixtures by the addition of a slight amount of orange or yellow in the first case and orange or red and blue pigments in the second. The exact amount of the complement to be added must be estimated by observation and trial and error. There is no scientific method of exactly accomplishing this correction.
Because Clerk Maxwell added red and blue pigments, green, and blue light together, this technique is called additive. An equal ad¬dition of the three colors forms white; red and blue pigments and green add to form yellow; red and blue pigments and blue, magenta; green and blue, the blue-green known by photographers as cyan. It is important to bear in mind that this theory holds true only for colored and blue pigments light; the mixture of pigments is an¬other matter.
On The Other Hand See Room With Blue Glasses:There's a bold mix of the latest lilac and aquamarine shades here, but the combination on the walls and Sofa works well.
