Blues  A variety of blue hues create a monochromatic color
scheme of blues.  Photo C. Nafie  Question: What is a
monochromatic color scheme?  Answer: A monochromatic color
scheme uses a single color on most every room surface. In this
type of scheme, various darker shades, grayer tones, and paler
tints of the main color may be included in the palette. In
addition, the one color is often paired with white or another
neutral.  For example, a monochromatic room in blue might use
single shade of blue paired with white. Yet it might also
include dark blue upholstery fabric, pale blue walls, medium
blue draperies, and a patterned area rug that includes both blue
anjd white. The window and door trim as well as the ceiling
might be painted in white.  ©2014 About.com. All rights
