Who creates paint schemes?

Paint schemes for a home or room can be created by a professional interior designer or a homeowner by using color scheme resources such as a color wheel to determine complementary colors that fit the mood and style of the space. Some paint stores, such as Benjamin Moore, have an online feature where a color scheme can be tried out virtually by painting a room online first.

When creating a paint scheme, one should take into consideration the color combinations to reflect a mood or personal style and the size and function of the space. Shades of the same hue are complementary and create flow from room to room without having each room be exactly the same, creating an interesting, seamless look.
