Hello I’m curious how your color wheel suggestions work. I’ve been searching a lot of neutral beige colors and noticing a lot of variation in suggested coordinating colors. For example Toasted Pine Nut has more subdued, softer matching colors while Buckram Binding has much brighter and bolder color suggestions. Does that mean the brighter colors won’t look as good with Toasted Pine Nut? Or with Kilim Beige? What is it about Buckram Binding that makes much bolder colors work better?
Great question! For the Color Wheel, I did tend to pair the brighter and more saturated colors with other colors similar in tone. However, that doesn’t mean that you have to use brighter colors to coordinate with colors like Buckram Binding. Use the colors as a guide for the schemes (analogous, etc.) and then select a softer color within the same paint color family. I hope this helps to clear up any confusion!
Please feel free to reach out if you have any questions or if you would like help selecting a particular color.
