11. Summarize the guidelines for using color correctly in a room design.
            ~ As you work with color you need to follow some guidelines, one of the guidelines are applying color to make a room look bigger. You also would want to use contrasting colors that can draw peoples attention. Make sure you are using the color harmonies so that is makes it easier on the eye when one color dominates. When choosing colors for large areas make sure they are low intesity colors. Also heavily textured areas make colors appear dark and if a room is large consider choosing colors that will make it smaller.
13. I would defiantly use the complementary color harmony so you can you still use high intesity color but use accents with low intensity color, you can also flip flop those two as well, with the natural light it will bring a nice calm feeling to the room so one isnt overlapping the other. Lighting can have a major role in the color choices you make because with light it can distort the color but it can make colors look cooler, but that is what the occupant wants so sometimes it works in there favor.
