Introduction to the Olympic colour scheme
The Olympic colour scheme is popularly used to paint physical objects such as walls and furniture. It looks good on wood furniture such as drawers, counters, cabinets and wooden walls.
The colours also go well with historical and New England-style exteriors. When these colours are used for photo editing, paintbrush textures can be used to enhance their effects.
