8 Designer-Recommended Color Combinations You Should Try
BLUE ON BLUE
"Striped walls create intimacy in a large foyer and take your attention away from awkward bump-outs that interrupt the room. I pulled the two blues out of the damask on the sofa. They have the richness of 18th-century American paint colors and create that fantastic vibrancy you get with blue on blu
BLUE AND WHITE
"Perhaps no color combination is more popular in the history of interior design than blue and white. It has lasted through centuries, from Chinese export porcelain to Dutch delftware. And for good reason — it's very versatile, equally at home in the city or the country. Do deep blue walls with my favorite white for trim, Atrium White." —Jeff Lincoln
RED AND BLUE
"The combination of red and blue is essential boho chic. Red walls can infuse a study or dining room with sultry energy, and navy baseboards help to anchor the space. Be careful not to pick a red with too much blue, or you might start seeing purple!" — Robert Brown
BLUE AND PURPLE
"Imagine an inky indigo dining room in full gloss, accented by matte lilac paint on the corner niches. The blue-based lilac harmonizes beautifully with the darker blue; it makes the perfect back drop for a mahogany dining table and chairs with lime-green cushions." —Kevin Isbell
"When you're working with green and red, you don't want it to look like Christmas. So pick tonalities that are timeless, like the olive green and blood red we used in this informal dining room. It's the color of fall foliage and autumn chrysanthemums. If you look in nature, you'll find all these odd, wonderful combinations." —Alessandra Branca
PINK, CHOCOLATE BROWN, AND WHITE
"Pink and chocolate brown is one of those charismatic color combinations that simultaneously telegraphs gravitas and joy, striking just the right balance of prettiness and brawn. I love a room painted with deep brown walls, a pale pink ceiling, and white trim." —Young Huh
GRAY AND YELLOW
"A rich gray provides an elegant contrast to a vibrant, sunny yellow. It's an unexpected combi nation that's both sophisticated and lively. Use it alongside creamy neutral fabrics, natural elements like driftwood or quartz bowls, and metallics for a chic Hamptons living room." —Amy Lau
PINK, GREEN, AND WHITE
"Pink is such a warm, soothing color, and it instantly brings out the best in skin tones. Add a dose of citrusy green for a gorgeous pairing of sweetness and zing. Against white millwork, this is a phenomenal palette — a great option for dressing rooms, baths, or any room in a summer home." —Lorna Gross
