But in reality, pick up the color and its saturation is important with many factors. A pretty design may not fit the conditions of your home or under your self-assumption, even if it is performed by a professional. There are several signs, relying on which you can define a comfortable setting.
1 define your favorite color
We are constantly surrounding ourselves to objects of different need. Please note what colors you prefer, choosing these items. Do you like bright accents or prefer pastel shades? The exception is the essentials, because we choose them not by packaging design.
2 Compare wardrobe colors
Examine your image. Not mentally, and really look into the closet. What clothes do you wear, what is your color tree, what is suitable for you? The interior paints must emphasize not only the taste, you should look good in it. Some shades can pale you, suppress, tired, put pressure on you, "burn". Try to present yourself in one or another color and feel your emotions.
3 Take into account the physiology of vision
The number of photoreceptors is different from different people. The color and mesh color of the eye depends on the color and light percement of the person. This explains why you like bright interiors, while others find them tired. Some people feel good in bright rooms, others find them faded and boring. One people are not enough light, the room seems to be dim, others, on the contrary, like muffled light, it does not tire the eyes, they see clearly at twilight lighting.
Photoreceptors-sticks are responsible for night vision, as well as adaptation to reduced illumination. And the receptors-columns help to see the wealth of the spectrum of the surrounding world.
4 Pay attention to age and activities
It is known that the color vision is deteriorating with age. Older people prefer unreament natural shades, finding calm and peace and confusion in them, so they are suitable for interiors in calm muted tones.

If they are "allay", "screaming", "annoying", cause ripples in their eyes, then bright shades are not for you. You will fit moderate natural calm colors. They will affect relaxing, soothing, give holiday eyes, the brain, tune into a new productive day, bringing the nerves and states in order.
If a calm neutral palette is described by you as "boring", "belly", "sleepy", "washed", "incomprehensible", "unclear", contrasts and bright colors will be. They will disturb, cause a tide of joy, to promote greater ability to work and good well-being.
