color scheme

Plan.

Hi MrM,

What does plan mean? Please give some examples if you can.

Thanks,

A combination of matching colours, for example in a room. The following link gives you someidea on tonal, harmonious, and complementary colour schemes: http://www.bbc.co.uk/homes/design/colour_scheme.shtml .

Hi,

Plan has lots of definitions.

There's one probably fits. ---- method, arrangement.

Is it OK to say, 'color method' or 'color arrangement'?

Thanks for the replies.

No: color scheme is the proper collocation if you are talking about interior decoration.

Hi MrM,

'collocation' --- Do you mean combination?

Thanks for the reply.

No.

Hi MrM,

What is it then? collocation

Thanks for the follow-up.

I call word groups which users tend to keep together collocations. Nine-and-a-half out of ten interior designers are going to use the phrase colour scheme in preference to anything else, in my opinion.

Hi MrM,

So, 'scheme' here doesn't have too much meaning. Agree?

Color scheme simply means colors. Correct?

Thanks for reply.
