Colour Matching
How to colour match your water feature with your patio
When picking a water feature you need to consider colour matching it with your patio. The Colour Wheel below is a useful guide to identifying colours which work well together.
Contrasting Colours
When two colours are opposite each other on the Colour Wheel this is known as contrasting colours. For example: orange and blue or red and green.
Harmonising Colours
When colours are close to each other on the Colour Wheel this is known as harmonising colours. For example: different shades of grey.
So for example if you have a grey slate patio you could pick a water feature that is a different shade of grey or you could pick a terracotta water feature which would be a contrast to the patio.
Some effective combinations are:
- Slate grey and terracotta
- Slate grey and steel or aluminium or mirror effect
- Slate grey and black marble
- Terracotta and steel or aluminium or mirror effect
- Terracotta and blue ceramic
- Terracotta and green ceramic
- Buff or cream and blue ceramic
- Buff or cream and brown or bronze
- Buff or cream and terracotta
