The application will then analyse the color of the selected object and offer you two secondary colors that go with it perfectly. Then you can decide if you want to use these colors to paint the walls, or go shopping for cushions. Another way in which the app can help you is to use the shade inventory and redecorate virtual rooms to find a color combination that you like.
