If your interested in creating a new color scheme for a room, but don’t want to use color wheels or color theory, a great way to choose colors is to use colors from a piece of artwork.
Artists spend many hours cultivating the color scheme for a painting. Choosing your colors this way creates an harmonious color scheme and is fun and easy.
