Need help choosing and using colour in your home? Choosing and using paint colours can be difficult for many reasons. The human eyes can tell differences between millions of colours, yet the safest and the most popular colours in interior (内部的) paint are white and beige (米色). Although there is nothing wrong with using white and beige, and there are correct ways to do that as you will see later on this web page, they should not be used just because they are the wrong examples of safe choices. When you want to decorate your home, you will find there are more than enough different colours in paint stores or your local Home Depot (家装市场). It will make it easier for you to have difficulty in making decisions, which may drive anyone to the safe shades of white and almost-whites. The fear of choosing colours that do not work together, the wrong idea that matching colours takes some born ability you don’t think you have, and the inability (无能) to imagine what colours will actually look like in your room may also make anyone have difficulty in deciding on colour. Once you understand the basic rules of using colour and some “tricks” decorators won’t tell you, you will have the knowledge and confidence to create a space that improves your life, brings the mood you want, and gets a lot of compliments (恭维) as well.
