a. In this interior design example, different tones of grey are used to create a comfortable atmosphere for one’s living room. The curtains and tables are white, the walls are dark grey with black patterns, and the sofas are grey and light grey. The overall design uses minimal colors to keep things simple. The black pattern on dark grey wall gives three dimensional affect to the wall. The tone difference between the dark wall and light frame of the television accentuates the TV. The light curtains allow light to come into the room.

b. The tone in this interior design best interacts with the shapes of the objects in the room. The contrast between dark and light of the different objects gives more definition to their shapes.

c. The lack of color in the overall design other than shades of grey gives the room comfort and peaceful characteristics. Because of the overall grey tones, the few colors in the design makes those objects pop-out. The green bottle, the yellow cushions, and the beige rug gives life to the room.

d. The colors in the room interact with the textures of the objects in the room. The yellow color of the cushions and the light grey color of the sofas give them cloth-like soft texture. The green color of the bottle gives it a glassy texture.
