Achromatic - with one colour

This type of principle has a black and/or white colour scheme with just on colour. This Louis Vuitton window is extremely eye catching and appealing because of the vibrant red colour.

Green - "Serious" Theme

Front and back of the NBC store windows in New York. Spreading a serious message about protecting our environment by using the 3 R's, Reduce, Reuse, and Recycle. Great way to spread an important message in a beautiful/stunning manner.

Complimentary Colours

Taken from Internet

I really liked this display with the light, pale purple and the bright yellow, I beleive they compliment each other very well. The display as a whole gives me a feeling of calmness but with a hint of playfulness.

I really love how they used bright vived blues and reds. My eye keeps bouncing back and forth between the two colors which leaves me feeling intrigued and excited. Leanna Bultsma

This display presents the achromatic very well for it's term. I feel this better describes achromatic more than the first photo above, because it flows more evenly and nicely.

Blue. As a positive.

The use of blues, and corresponding tints and shades can help neutralize and soften a visual image. As seen in the photo above, the two figures make for a very bold focal point. With the use of blues on either side it brings the photo to a visually balanced and pleasing level, without taking away from the intended focal point.

 

Often the color blue portrays a sense of large or deep spaces, much due to its association with deep vast seas and oceans as well as wide open skies.  making it a choice background selection when trying to create a vast or depth perspective when only given a small space to work with.  As seen in the photo above.
