Inspirations for colour schemes
When it comes to finding inspiration for colour there is no strict set of rules. However, the more knowledge you have about colour and its influence on your living environment, the better placed you will be to choose colours that will be right for you. Colours generally work best when related to their surroundings, with the final result of a successful scheme being one of harmony, visual order, and a feeling of continuity.

There is generally some existing feature which either dictates or can be used as inspiration for the basis of a colour scheme. This may be a view from a window, a work of art, nature, carpets, soft furnishings, stained glass, art books and magazines, a fashion trend and the Resene colour charts.
