GREENS
- Olive Green – If you are looking for a warm, earthy tone, olive greens exude a warmth that makes you want to curl up and read a good book, or just relax on a comfy sofa. It is great for a den or office, but also works well on kitchen cabinets or dining room walls. There are lots of different looks in olive greens.
- Muted Green – Muted greens are still earthy and traditional. They are light and bright and very versatile. Considered more of a neutral, muted greens bring a soft, soothing atmosphere to any room.
- Sage Green – This is another beautiful, earthy tone that is perfect for walls or cabinetry. Sage greens deliver a classic and welcoming look. If greens are your thing, think serene, moss-filled forest.
There are literally tons of variations on green, but check out these greens to get you started thinking!
BLUES
- Navy Blue – This a classic color that not only cozies up a room, but looks great as an exterior color as well. While navy blue is dark and moody, you can pair it up with other color combinations to warm it up or cool it down. Here are some color combination ideas just for that!
- Blue-Gray – Medium bluish-gray colors are also called “livid” colors. A term that dates back to the 1600’s! While blue-grays are lighter than navy blues, they still convey a moody, but restful feeling since blues are considered a cool color. There is a wide spectrum of blue-grays available and one is perfect for you.
BROWNS AND GRAYS
- Greige – This warm gray is the perfect combination of comfy and contemporary. Because it is so versatile it pairs well with accents in the blue/gray family or brown/beige. This gives you tons of options for decorating and accessorizing. You can actually change the whole ambiance of your room by swapping out accent pieces like pillows, rugs, lamps and accessories. Here are some ideas for using greige in your home.
- Brown-Gray – As the name implies, brown-grays lean more to the deep, earthy tones of brown. The brown is subtly tinted with white and black to reduce the intensity of the brown color and give it a creamy look. While brown itself is not a very popular color, brown-grays are extremely popular. Well known brown-grays include beige, taupe and ash brown. Have a look at popular brown-gray colors from Pinterest.
REDS
- Burgundy – This color family is back in a big way. In fact, Better Homes & Gardens called it the biggest color of 2023.

- Terracotta – Another rich and earthy tone, terracotta is a deep burnt orange with a touch of brown. It blends well with burgundy and other shades of tan and peach, making it very versatile. Here’s a head up on what colors pair well with terracotta.
