- In this video I got over some basics of color theory including tints, tones and shades of the different colors of the color wheel, I walk you through monochromatic, analogous and complimentary color schemes, and I show you how to create rhythm in your color scheme so it looks cohesive. Plus I go over those undertones so those neutrals are creating a beautiful backdrop for your home interior and working with the rest of your palette.

I would really love to see a video about "bad" examples of color combination
I'll send you a picture of my bedroom. Gray, navy blue and yellow. I did it all wrong!!
Come on by! Lol
Hmm. I don't have an example but if you put shades and tints together, they clash badly.
@@albamadero7207 hhahahaahahaha

You just condensed two of my college design classes from 1975 into less than ten minutes😁
There are endless home decorating videos on RUclips and I've seen a lot of them, but Nick takes it to the next level by really explaining just the right amount of theory behind the subject. I think his accessible videos are just as informative as studying a formal class on the subject. Well done and many thanks Nick!
I agree! I just found his channel and have been watching so many of his videos! This channel is exactly what I've been looking for! I want my space to look nice but I never know what products to buy, where to shop, or what to look for and Nick does exactly that! Thank you, Nick! 💜
OMG! FINALLY!! …only took 60 + yrs for someone to finally explain yin an easy way!!! Whooo hoooo… new paint!!!❤️👍🏻
You are very natural in front of the camera. It's as though you are speaking to me alone. Thanks for the tips😊
Hands down best video on color theory I have seen! FINALLY, I understand tint, tone and shade thanks to your excellent use of visuals. Love your content, well done 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
I'm so glad!
Agree!!!
Going to agree with you. The examples are amazing
Yes, I agree. Clearly explained. I looked at each example and when my heart skipped a beat I could tell what I liked. More, please.
Yes. Totally agree
Marvelous tutorial! My late sister was a decorator and had your gift for color. I always admired her skill. I feel like I found her again in your channel. Thank you!
That's really sweet. It's always nice to see nice comments on You Tube. God bless you and your sister. And Nick has some great videos, no? I finally bought a condo two years ago and work at sea on a ship. So while the pandemic was going on I asked my mom to coordinate renovations and they were fully complete by the time I was able to return home. So now I am addicted to design. I never thought a merchant seaman would be this much into this stuff, but here we are. haha. Take care!
My sister was a designer. The only thing she shared with me when I asked her how to go about designing my dream house was, "draw circles." It wasn't terribly helpful. My kitchen turned out to be as big as a McMansion. But I had lots of counter space ... And a really big pantry.
Perfectly explained! Best video on paint colors I’ve seen. The examples you give really helped. Thanks!
Testing a sample is SO important. We painted the walls of our otherwise all-white kitchen (south facing, looks out on our treed yard) apple green. It's crisp and cheerful. My friend's son loved the colour and wanted it for his bedroom. They tested with our leftover paint and in that north facing room with hardwood floors, the colour looked brown and dingy. The difference in the light, and in surrounding materials, had a major effect.
I always pick tones, especially lighter ones, most colors in nature are tones, as are historic paint colors, because they only had natural, mostly mineral, pigments to work with. I’m a geologist and pick paint colors colors from my GSA rock chart, they’re guaranteed to be easy to live with and work well with each other.
Thank you. That's a bit of geology of which I wasn't aware. One of my favorite uncles was a geologist who explained the NJ Palisades and the Flooded Basement. I think I remember taking 2 geology classes at NAU. And the only sample I missed in the Mohs scale was a diamond bigger than a 6-point period. I'm such a collector!
I did something a little unexpected about 5 years ago (at least in my circle of friends); I painted my livingroom walls a marsala type color (mine was actually called sweet tea). I like boho and traditional so the darker color was a great backdrop to neutral furniture, earthy woods and rattan type vibes. I kinda flipped what people usually do. Friends were skeptical of such a dark color until they saw it. Then they loved the warmth and richness and how it worked with my style. Sometimes you just gotta go for what you like.
Best video so far on colors ,and everything i understood what you are saying ,you are a good teacher well done thank you so much 💓 😊
You are very welcome
Right as rain. I am amazed at how splendid Nick is, and how easy he makes any topic for us. If he taught Chemistry or Physics at school, all kids would excel.
@@daryanahibina515 That's very nice of you. Somewhere my Physics teacher is crying at the thought of me teaching that subject though! haha 🤣
Nick, what I love about your videos is that inwoven with all the fun and silliness, you actually are a wonderful teacher. You never think anything is over our heads, and you take the time to explain design concepts in ways that we non-professionals can understand and implement. To date I haven’t come across another RUclips channel whose content creator truly respects the intellect of their audience as much as you do.
I know you’ve taken some guff from those insulted by you having articulated your personal design distaste - especially when they perceive it as an insult to their own aesthetic preferences. I don’t - because I doubt there’s a person alive who adores every style that’s come along - you included.Not liking a design element or style doesn’t necessarily make it bad design - just not in alignment with our personality. Since our design preferences are reflections of our personality, that’s likely why people take your cringing and ribbing so personally.
Anyway, I just wanted to express my appreciation by way of rebutting the naysayers. This video is 2 years old, but its succinct instruction is timeless. We’re the better for having you here for us! 💖
It’s difficult to believe that Nick doesn’t have formal education in Interior Design. 😱 His wealth of information is solid! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
When I’m choosing a colour I paint the sample pot onto an A3 sheet of white paper and move it around the room, even in the same room there are going to be different light sources and this way I don’t end up with patches of paint on every wall 😂 Love your video and advice 😘
THANKYOU! I never knew there was a difference between tints, tones, and shades. I thought they all meant the same thing! I think this will be very useful information for me in future art work. Yee Haw!
Glad it was helpful!
I’m not kidding when I say that this video changed my entire outlook on interior decorating! You’re a wonderful teacher please keep doing more!!!
I like the pace of your videos. You cut to the chase without being curt and I especially like that you include timestamps! 🏆
Yess your colour examples just confirmed my decision to go with pale rose linens for my new bathroom with a sage green vanity. It seemed pretty out there but there's historical precedent, but I feel like I'll be able to make it look modern and fun :)
Artist here, this will be gorgeous...go for it. And about color you can always buy a handtowel to try it...you only need to be careful with big ticket items or more or less.
This is the best color guide to decorating I’ve seen-and I’ve seen plenty!
First time I’ve actually ever really understood colour tones. Thank you for being a good teacher. Oh and I’m gagging for a house tour! Your place looks beautiful!
Happy to help! I have definitely been planning a house tour!
Oh my god I’ve spent years trying to understand this stuff and other videos make me more confused. Amazingly clear and thanks for making it easy to understand.... phew! 👍🏻
Glad it helped!
I love how you structure your videos. They are so organised, making them easy to follow. Those timestamps are awesome!
Glad you like them! I always appreciate Timestamps to zip around as a viewer so I do them now in all of my videos! What takes me 10 minutes saves you all way more than that I figure.
Love your videos and how well you explain things for us to understand. Thank you.
Most informative 9 minutes regarding colors in design. You're an outstanding designer who breaks concepts down to appetizing portions. Thank you, Nick!
Great teaching video!!! First time I've finally comprehended the differences. For me, the visual of the color coding of the words: tint, tone, shade was what gave me the AHA moment. Thanks, Nick.
Love your tutorials! Could you do one on how to use wallpaper? Like, how to incorporate it, which designs and colors to choose, how to combine it with furniture and so. I would love to use it one day, but it feels tricky and permanent
Yes rhythm!!!! Never really explained so well!!! Thank you
Glad I landed on your channel! Would be needing this for my house!!! Thanks for this!
Glad it was helpful!
In this short video, you have managed to capture every important design aspect for colour choices, and explained it in such a way that anyone should be able to benefit from. Well done. 😊
You should teach at university level. So well explained, examples are perfection, bravo!
Hi Nick I’ve watched this video before, but I needed to watch it a few times as I always have a problem choosing and knowing what will go with what. Thank you as always. Xx 😘
My mind is BLOWN - thank you for explaining that so thoroughly and concisely!!
Great job! Great for those who have no idea, like me!!
Came over from link in your current video, and I just want to compliment you on your video quality and how it is more cozy in 2022! The sound, the lighting, and maybe the fps (I could be wrong) are improved! Your content is still phenomenal!
For as long as youtube has been around and has helped me in so many areas, I promise you this is the first comment I am leaving on a RUclips video ever! I cannot say thank you enough for bringing this content here. And specifically for making this video. After watching I literally feel like I can tackle the job that’s in front of me. Now I have a real idea of knowing what to do and it actually makes sense!! Though I have a knack for art, I have never done anything dealing with interior design. To say I was lost is an understatement. This video bought me to the light. Again. Thank you so much Nick!! ♥️🙏🏽
This is the best video on colors ever!
Hi Nick, I was watching your home tour video with Karin Bohn (loved it, by the way) and I was struck by the discussion that you and she had about whether to concentrate an accent color in one spot or to scatter a few other items around the room with that color. In this video, you talked about the rhythm of repeating textures and colors, which seems like a strong counterpoint to Karin’s philosophy. I wonder if you wouldn’t mind touching on these two points of view in some future video. Best, Mark
This was like going through my foundations class all over again. I appreciate the refresher! And I can't wait to decorate my own space 😌
These tints, tones, shades explanation made such a big sense!
Your way of explanation makes sense because it's scientific and actually useful. I have seen so many useless videos, where they say just play around with color and have fun.
Nick, I'm a designer and I love your videos! Thank you for simplifying it for us 💕
You're so welcome! That means so much when designers love my videos!
Nick Lewis your work is much appreciated 💕
Excellent explanation and presentation!!! 👏🏻
Life saver! I don't have the best eye for style but this helped me tremendously!
I feel like this video was made for me. It all made sense in such a logical way. Thank you!
I love how thorough you present.
This is the most helpful video I’ve ever watched
First of all, I'm so thankful I have my eyesight and that I am not color blind. I love color and can't imagine what I'd do without seeing color
Your gratitude for your vision is lovely. As a rare person who was born without the ability to see any colors I can tell you that it has its own beauties. Most of the time I don’t regret my lack of color, but others I wonder what I’m missing. You sound like you live in a while different world. 😊
@@aaraujo306 My husband is legally blind, seeing only slight peripherally. Colors may be grayed or orange and coral to purples. But shades and textures are still impactful.
I gasped in awe of the blue arch example of analogous colors
Wow! I actually learned three new concepts watching your video (tint, tones, and shades) 🤩🥸😬 and how to use them. I agree, you are a very good teacher. New subscriber 👍🏻.
I'm so glad!
This is the BEST explanation of color theory anywhere!!! YOU. ARE. AWESOME. ❤️❤️❤️
Just found your channel today. Very impressed, excited for future growth!
Awesome! Thank you!
So helpful! Had no idea the meanings or differences between those words and their applications for painting a house
That was the best video I've seen explaining color and color palettes. Thank you! You're a great teacher and I can't wait to watch more of your videos! :)
Thank you so much!
Thanks so much for this! This video is probably the best explanation of this topic that I’ve seen.
This was SO informative! Thank you.
You are so welcome!
My mind is blown! I learned so much! Thank you.
Learning the difference between tints, tones and shades changed my life for real
Best videos I’ve seen so far so easy to understand 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
This was better than a TED Talk. FINALLY! I understand....So, THANK YOU! Excellent vid - have subscribed and now spending my time going through your vid library.
You explain things so well!
Finally someone able to explain “color” in layman’s terms, so to speak! Thank you Nick! Love your videos and your teaching method. You explain things crisp and clear , also sharing visuals really helps!
God Bless you more more and any one behind this beautiful experience , I'm glad I find you sooner I plan to start painting project and am sure this will won't be featured in school lol!!! Thank you again Mr Nick ,Stay Blessed
Never seen color theory explained like this. Will definitely save this video. In renovating and was trying to figure out a color scheme. I lean to warm colors. Really good explanation.
I've recently found your channel and I love it! You have a wonderful, friendly and calm manner, and you are an excellent educator! I love the way you put the graphics up, like you did with the color examples. Really well done. Thanks!
Exactly what I needed to figure out my palette! I’ve watched so many videos on paint but this is the most thorough and practical for finding my color palette! Thank you so much!
Thank you for teaching tints, tones, and shades! I hadn’t learned in-depth about it anywhere yet. And I appreciate all the visuals and examples!😃
Thank you so much for your videos. They have been very helpful and informative without a bunch of rambling fluff that I have experienced on other videos. You are a wonderful teacher. Thank you!
I really like that knot pillow.
This was so helpful! Thank you so much! I really appreciate how informative and step-by-step your teaching style is. You made this so simple and easy to understand.
Omg!! Thanks so much for this. I have been trying to decorate my house ( im not interior designer) basically , because I love doing it. So, for the last 2 years I have been watching all kind of videos to get learn how to do it in a better way. But I got to this video and I have to say that this is the first time someone explains this color thing so well. So, thanks
Nick, you’re the cool guy you meet at the coffee shop, the neato guy you knew in college, the friend who has a great idea.
I’m in the midst of a whole house reno and I’d be lost without you!
You are a wonderful teacher. Finally I understand tints, tones, and shades; monochromatic analogous, and complementary colors!!! Fabulous video. Thank you.
Wow what a learning experience! Thank you for this wonderful video on color basics & especially for the doing the time to do visual graphs with labels.
I've been binge watching your videos since I found your channel! You are so knowledgeable and I really appreciate the quality and effort you put in your videos
Finally a clear explanation! Thank you!,
Great video! I think i learned more in the few mins watching this than i ever have. Ive never heard anyone actually break it down and explain the exact meaning of tones, tints, and shades. thanks for this!
This has to be the best RUclips video about colour by far! Love your videos.
I absolutely love the pink and green and pink and aqua color schemes you show, gorgeous!
Your visual aids and illustrations are great. They really help me understand the lessons. Thank you for your excellent videos!
Thank you, Nick! I've watched a lot of your videos but just found this one. It makes so much more sense now. Marvellous explanations!
This was so educational. We have lots of color in our home. Some of it was achieved through trial and error but It's nice to know that our instincts were on target for the most part after those initial trials.
Best explanation ever of color!
I love you way you explained everything. So easy to understand. Thank you!
I love complimentary color schemes the most, as well.
I absolutely loved this video, not only from an interior design point of view, but also from an artistic one. Really helpful and beautifully explained, with visual examples, which for me are the bread and butter to my learning. Thank you!
Thank you so much! I’m moving from a home with vibrant walls and muted decor to one with builder white from floor to ceiling. I feel like I’m completely starting over and it’s overwhelming! All your videos have been really helpful.
I’m only 5 minutes into this & already I’m WAY more classy than I was 5 minutes ago. MONOCHRAMATIC! ANAGOLOUS!
I learned SO MUCH from this. And now I understand the genius of Lilly Pulitzer even more - pink & green are opposites on the color wheel!! This. Blew. My. Mind. I've never had any artistic education and I have so much to learn!
I absolutely love this video! This really helps me understand how I can pull my space together with color.
Best description of these concepts I have ever seen.
Those complementary-schemed rooms were delightful!
The best video on choosing color .... Excellently explained... With examples from different combinations..
Finally I understood!!😊
Did I just hear Nick Lewis CORRECTLY explain COLOR THEORY?! As a painter, I'm gushing.
Thank you for this explanation. So clear and provides me a much better framework to think about putting colors together. Really appreciate it 🙏
Thank you for this tutorial! Also that tool is amazing and can be very helpful.
I’ve just discovered yogur chanel and THANK YOU, I knew some things about interior design because I love it, but I feel like I’ve learned so much more things with your videos, and now I have to decorate my new home and I think I will do it with so much knowledge 🙂
Nick I ❤ this video. You have such a soothing voice and are easy on the eyes too 😊. Very informative and comprehensive colour tutorial. Thank you.
Oh my goodness these combinations are so beautiful 😻
bookmarking this for future reference again and again! i have NEVER understood how to put together a palette, and this helped so much by putting all the aspects together in a succinct way. now i know where to start.
You really helped me understand tones and tints better. Everything you shared was very helpful ❤️
Quality video !! Your explanations helped me understand how the color wheel can help create a color story ! Thank you
