There are different color schemes are used in layouts of rooms as well as furnishing those are

1.         Monochromatic colour schemeA monochromatic colour scheme consists of different values(tints and shades) of one single colour. These colourschemes are easy to get right and can be very effective,soothing and authoritative . They do, however, lack thediversity of hues found in other colour schemes and are lessvibrant

2.         Analogous colour schemeAnalogous colours are colours that are adjacent to eachother on the colour wheel. Some examples are green, yellowgreen, and yellow or red, orange and yellow. Analogouscolour schemes are often found in nature and are pleasing tothe eye. The combination of these colours give a bright andcheery effect in the area, and are able to accommodatemany changing moods. When using the analogous colourscheme, one should make sure there is one hue as the maincolour

3.         Complementary colour schemeComplementary colours are colours that are opposite eachother on the colour wheel, such as blue and orange, red andgreen, purple and yellow. Complementary colour schemeshave a more energetic feelThe high contrast between the colours creates a vibrant look,especially when used at full saturation. Complementarycolours can be tricky to use in large doses

4.         Split-analogous colour schemeA colour scheme that includes a main colour and the twocolours one space away from it on each side of the colourwheel. An example is red, blue, and violet. Split-complementary colour schemeA colour scheme that includes a main colour and the twocolours on each side of its complementary (opposite) colouron the colour wheel. These are the colours that are one hueand two equally spaced from its complement. To avoidfatigue and maintain high contrast, this colour scheme shouldbe used when giving PowerPoint presentations, or whenusing a computer for an extended period of time

5.         Tetrad colour schemeTetrads (or quadrates) are any four colours with a logicalrelationship on the colour wheel, such as doublecomplementsTriadic colour schemeA colour scheme in which 3 colours of equidistant distributionon the colour wheel are used, e.g., red, blue, and yellow.

6.         Neutral colour schemeA colour scheme that includes only colours not found on thecolour wheel, called neutrals, such as beige, brown, gray,black and white.

7.         Accented neutral colour schemeA colour scheme that includes neutral colours, like white,beige, brown, grey, light brown or black, and one or moresmall doses of other colours. e.g. brown and beige with blue,gray and black with red

8.         Warm and cool colour schemesWarm colour schemes do not include blue at all, andlikewise, cool colour schemes do not include red at all. Forexample, a colour scheme that includes "warmer" coloursmay have orange, yellow, and red-orange in it. "Cooler"colours are green, violet, light blue, etc
