# Color Harmony Engine — Interior Color Harmony Engine

Provides systematic color theory, palette formulas, and psychological effects for interior design.

## Basic Palette Formulas

### 60-30-10 Rule

```
60% — Dominant: Walls, ceiling, large furniture
30% — Secondary: Fabric, curtains, rugs, small furniture
10% — Accent: Cushions, accessories, artwork

Example (Scandinavian):
  60% White (#FAFAFA)
  30% Light Gray (#D5D5D5) + Natural Wood
  10% Mustard Yellow (#E8B730)
```

### Color Harmony Types

| Type | Description | Feel | Suitable Spaces |
|------|-------------|------|-----------------|
| Monochromatic | Value/saturation shifts of a single hue | Unity, sophistication | Bedroom, study |
| Analogous | Adjacent hues (30 degrees on color wheel) | Natural, comfortable | Living room, cafe |
| Complementary | Opposite hues (180 degrees) | Bold, dynamic | Accent wall, kids' room |
| Split-complementary | Adjacent to complement (150 degrees) | Harmony + energy | Living room, dining |
| Triadic | 3 hues at 120 degree intervals | Balanced energy | Kids' room, playroom |
| Neutral | Achromatics + natural tones | Refined, calm | Minimal spaces |

## Color Psychology — Application by Space

| Color Family | Psychological Effect | Suitable Spaces | Unsuitable Spaces |
|-------------|---------------------|-----------------|-------------------|
| Blue | Stability, focus, trust | Study, bedroom, bathroom | Dining room (suppresses appetite) |
| Green | Relaxation, nature, balance | Living room, bedroom, balcony | - |
| Yellow | Brightness, energy, creativity | Kitchen, kids' room, entryway | Bedroom (overstimulating) |
| Red | Passion, appetite, energy | Dining room, accent wall | Bedroom, study |
| Purple | Luxury, mystery, creativity | Bedroom, study | Kitchen, living room |
| Orange | Warmth, sociability, energy | Living room, dining area | Bedroom |
| Neutral | Stability, refinement, openness | All spaces | - |

## Color Strategy by Space Size

```
Small spaces (<330 sq ft):
  - Light-toned dominant color (creates sense of expansion)
  - Ceiling color = wall color or lighter
  - Minimize accent colors (prevents visual clutter)
  - Use mirrors (visual expansion)

Large spaces (>660 sq ft):
  - Medium to dark tones are viable (creates coziness)
  - Color zoning by area is possible
  - Bold accent colors can be used
  - Texture variation adds depth

High ceilings:
  - Paint ceiling 1-2 shades darker than walls (cozier feel)

Low ceilings:
  - Paint ceiling lighter than walls (appears taller)
  - Vertical stripe patterns
