Decorating your home in colors that work well together can transform your rooms into visually stunning spaces. But without a professional design background, committing to color choices can be daunting. These excellent apps will help you select the right coordinating colors like a pro so you can decorate with confidence.
Color Harmonizer: Use a Color Wheel to Create Color Palettes
Color Harmonizer from DigitalAge Software is a simple app, but its classic approach to color coordination should appeal to design traditionalists.
First, select the number of swatches you want in your color scheme and your preferred "harmony," if any, from a list featuring design terms like analogous, tetradic, and complementary. Then select a color, by picking one on the color wheel or typing in its hex color code or RGB value, and you’ll see your color scheme updated in real time. The app displays the hex color codes and RGB values of all coordinating colors so you can use the ones you like in the real world.
Color Harmonizer is far from the most innovative color coordinating app on the market, but its user friendly design and functionality have helped it earn a four-and-a-half star rating in the Google Play store. It's ideal for people who already have a good grasp of color design principles and home decorators who want to learn more about design fundamentals.
Color Harmonizer is free to download for Android devices.
