      This video started out with the basic introduction to the color wheel and the spectrum of warm and cool colors.  She then introduced the colors in the warm spectrum: red, orange, and yellow.  She went through each of these colors and told what room they work best in because of the mood they set.  The same was done for the colors blue, green, and indigo.  Then she went on to explain white, and how black and brown is used in rooms to help ground the other colors in a room.

     This website covers the color schemes and how to choose the right colors for decorating.  It goes over the color wheel, color theory, warm and cool colors, similarities, and differences and contrasts.  It explains how to use a color chart and the different kinds you are able to use like the blue color chart, green color chart, red color chart, orange violet pink color chart, yellow color chart, and neutral color chart.  Each of these charts go through and outlines the different tones to that specific color.  This website goes a little bit more in depth than just telling about what the color wheel is.

      This page from a website gives examples on how you can use complementary color combinations for a room.  It shows how using patterns and textures can have an effect on the colors being used.  This page gives the viewer several different pictures on bedrooms with different color schemes so that way it is easy to vision what they are talking about.  Some of the examples include floral with polka dots, combining patterns, and a tropical/ Caribbean color scheme.  This website also offers articles on color, color schemes, color theory, and color resources that you can use to find books, websites, and magazines.

      This is a blog page that helps with the understanding of analogous color schemes.  Within the analogous color schemes there can be warm and cool colors and it gives pictures of how the warm and cool colors can be used in separate schemes.  Then it also shows how you can mix the warm and cool colors together.  It also goes into what kind of accent colors go well with the analogous color schemes and these colors often fall in the complementary color range.
