“Monochromatic color schemes are derived from a single base hue, and extended using its shades, tones and tints (that is, a hue modified by the addition of black, gray (black + white) and white. As a result, the energy is more subtle and peaceful due to a lack of contrast of hue. Monochromatic color schemes may be considered boring unless there is diversity within the design.” – Wikipedia
Wikipedia is right…monochromatic can be boring if it isn’t done right. If I say, “grey room,” you might think dreary. Look at the grey room below, though. The monochromatic color scheme is implemented properly, and the result is a stunning room! I have included some other eye-catching, basically single colored rooms for good measure…enjoy!
