How to Mix Summer Colors at Home?

One approach, known as the 60:30:10+B/W model, takes the proportions of the golden ratio as its starting point. If you want to mix these summer colors at home, this model can be useful.

The proportions and distribution of the color palette

We can use the same approach in a room by distributing the colors as follows:

• 60 pre cent will be in one or two main colors.
• 30 pre cent will be in subtle and harmonious ( i.e. not contrasting) accent colors, the purpose of which is to lift the main colors.
• 10 pre cent will be spiced up with one or two contrasting colors.
• + B/W stands for one small black or white detail, which is necessary to highlight the chosen colors, helping to bring them out – the finishing touch, you could say.

With this 60:30:10+B/W model, you definitely don’t need to worry about matching colors. Just be bold and try adding more summer color to your home!
