30 Percent
30 percent is the second color in charge. It’s the right hand that compliments the main color. You would use the color on chairs, side tables, drapery, or even an accent wall.

10 Percent
10 percent is your fun and bold accent color. It should pop out from the main and secondary color. The color should be on decorative pieces, like accent pillows, throw blankets, stylish lamps, vases, artwork, etc.
