• Fiery red-orange
• Raspberry
• Amber
• Emerald green
• Aubergine

Classic Color Combinations

To pair paint colors with furniture and other design elements, lean on the tried-and-true classics. Many classic color combinations come from nature — take a look outside and note the colors that complement each other beautifully. Check out a few of our favorite color combinations below:

• Green and yellow
• Black and white
• Green and blue
• Yellow and gray
• Pink and gray

Create a Calming Color Palette

For a calm and soothing space, opt for muted neutral shades that offer just a whisper of their punchier color family. For example, choose cream instead of lemon, sage instead of emerald and baby blue instead of navy. These subdued colors lend a serene, relaxing mood to your home.

The best way to create a calming color palette is to select colors from a narrow range of hushed hues. The following color palettes will have you breathing a sigh of relief:

• Warm ivory, cappuccino, cream and oatmeal
• Pale aqua, cotton and dove gray
• French vanilla, taupe and cinnamon

Warm and Cozy Color Combinations

Cozy colors make even the biggest, brightest room feel warm and welcoming. Cozy colors are deep, saturated shades. You can use warm hues like gold, orange and red or neutrals like charcoal, caramel, navy, moss and chocolate brown.

The following cozy color palettes will make your house an inviting home:

• Tree bark brown, terracotta and ochre
• Sunflower, chocolate and pumpkin
• Brick, espresso and walnut

Earthy, Natural Color Tones

Earth tones, the natural colors you find outdoors, are a timeless choice for your home’s interior, restoring a sense of balance and tranquility. The following mix of warm and cool earth tones combine for a rich, natural color palette:

• Cool blue, beige and brown
• Ocean blue and oak
• Burnt orange and gray
• Green, tan and gold

How to Choose the Right Paint Colors for Different Rooms

The best way to build your palette is to envision how you want each room to feel and choose colors based on those emotions. Check out our suggestions below to help you get started.

Kitchen

You can balance your kitchen’s busy energy with a neutral or calming paint color. White is a timeless base color that lets you choose bold countertops and cabinets. Alternatively, choose a rich color for the walls and go neutral with everything else. Keep your design elements in the same color family for a monochrome look.

Living Room

Warm and inviting colors work well in social rooms like your living room. You can create a moody yet cozy space with colors like warm gray with purple undertones, cerulean, sunny yellow or ebony.

Bedroom

Your bedroom is great for cool, calming colors like sage green, lilac or sky blue. These shades create a serene, calming room perfect for restful nights and leisurely mornings.

Bathroom

Opt for white or pale yellow if you want your bathroom to feel fresh and clean. Good lighting can also make this small space ideal for experimenting with bold, bright colors. Even dark, moody tones can work in a well-lit bathroom.

Office

Your home office is a place of focus and productivity, so choose a paint color that inspires your best work. When you need to concentrate, neutrals like gray, brown, sand or taupe offer a bit of color without distraction. Light blues can boost mental clarity and sunny yellows can stoke creativity.
