![]() The hallway, living room and kitchen could be considered three separate rooms, and by applying the Affinity colours to the majority of the main floor, you’ve ensured harmony from front door to back door. For instance, instead of using three colours in one room, use three different colours in three different rooms, to maximize the flow from one room to another. While this is one version of how the Affinity could be employed, I’d recommend to take advantage of the service, of the perfect parings, provided within the colours and apply it on a larger scale of your home. The Affinity colour selection can be utilized on many scales it can become the colour palate for one room, for example an accent wall, trim, and main colour. In fact, I’ve tested this multiple times, specifically choosing the worst colour combinations I could think of, and while it may not be my first choice of colour pairings, I can agree the colours do flow well from one to another. If you were to randomly select any 3 colours, they each share one or more of these qualities, and while I’m not recommending to randomly select 3 colours to employ in your own home, the theory does apply. The Affinity Colours share at least one of these attributes to its counterpart colour. While all other factors of this blue can be the same, the intensity of a colour can differ from the most vibrant shade of that hue to the dullest shade. For instance, the same colour blue that we mentioned, can appear to be a vibrant, bold blue, or it can be a soft, watery blue. It isn’t what many people consider to be how much gray is IN a colour, rather how vibrant or muted a colour appears. The Chroma represents the dullness of a colour. This is a term hardly used in typical colour conversation, however it is certainly one of the most important factors in choosing colours that harmonize well together. The last quality perceived is the Chroma. While this is of the same hue the value of that one colour is different. For example, the colour blue can be dark blue, like the AF-565 Mysterious The value indicates the lightness or darkness of a colour. The hue refers to the colour, the difference between seeing red, blue, green or yellow on your walls. The complete science behind that can comprise the content of an entirely different subject, but the thick of it – without delving too much into the science - is that the Affinity colours are made up of three components, Hue, Value and Chroma H/V/C. We’ve all had that moment when we choose a colour and we’re trying to match, one that ‘goes’ with it, but automatically we know they do not blend. How is this possible you ask? Well, there are three factors that comprise of how a colour works well together: HVC Hue, Value & Chroma. By ‘work’ I mean it will harmonize from room to room, or in combination within one room. ![]() ![]() The beauty of the Affinity Colour Collection, is there are 144 individual colours that have been specifically formulated to be paired and used in combination of any three and the palate will work. The Affinity colours are built to work in congruence with one another. The Affinity collection offers a service, if you will, within its selection that is unique to solely Affinity colours. While the Historical Collection and Designer Classics are just some of the tried and true colour selections, the Affinity colours deserve some attention. ![]() The Affinity Collection is not the newest addition to Benjamin Moore’s Colour Palate by any means, however it tends to be looked over when there are so many other known colour choices offered by Benjamin Moore. ![]() Have you ever been in the position, where you’re trying to harmonize paint colours, but one just doesn’t seem to mesh well with the other? One of the hardest parts of choosing colours, seems to be matching colours, whether it be between rooms or multiple colours in one room. Benjamin Moore’s Affinity Colours eliminates the struggle of pairing coordinating colours together. ![]()
