This is a colour wheel I have found that shows which colours go well together.
Primary Colours: Red, yellow and blue
Secondary colours: Orange, green and purple are made by combining two primary colours. All the other
colours are made by adding a combination of black, white and primary colours.
complementary colours: These colours are found directly opposite each other. These enhance each
other in decorating schemes.
Related colours: These are found next door to each other. Most designers often build colour
schemes around two or three related colours.
Natural colours: These are hints of the colours on the wheel. These give a light feel to a room
which is not overpowering and lets the furnishings, pictures and accessories take centre stage.
If you are still not sure which colours to choose or which colours will go together then my best tip is: Go down to your local D.I.Y shop and look
at there wallpaper borders. The manufactures have completed the hard work by bringing colour together, you can take a sample away with you (these are free in most places providing you
don't take too much) and match up the colour you are looking for.
