Shades of Ocher + White + Gray

More than just sienna or umber, pigments of ocher come from iron oxide and variations include yellow, red, and purple ocher. Combining the family of complex earthy colors with the strong marques of an Asian tea room makes for a very bold and eye-catching living area. Sofas in a Chinese Chippendale pattern surround an ottoman. A vibrant red oriental rug grounds the space while cinnamon-color draperies frame the trio of windows.

Yellow + Kelly Green + Cyan

In this living room, the walls get the yellow treatment while green paint jazzes up the interior of a built-in cabinet and provides a pop of color in the coffee table.

Carefree Color Scheme

Pinterest



Daffodil + Cocoa + Dusty Blue

Not your grandmother’s kitchen, this retro-modern kitchen is far from gelatin-mold stuffy. Popularized in the midcentury, colors on appliances gave extra status to the latest and greatest models. The cheery yellow island and backsplash tiles may hint at 1960s harvest gold, but the play on colors is pure fun, and the addition of up-to-date neutrals (crisp white and pale taupes) keep the look fresh.

Sweet Color Scheme

Pinterest



Vanilla + Jade + Pink

Paneled walls painted a vanilla yellow bring light to a small bedroom in a snug lake cottage. Jade green frames the windows and mixes with rosy pink in a sweet confection of patterns on the rug and in the bed linens. A note of turquoise blue appears in the storage case at the end of the bed. The pastel palette enhances the cottage style and helps to harmonize the varied vintage furnishings.
