As mentioned, green sits in the center of the wheel so can be combined with both cold and warm tones. 'From a color pairing perspective, of course this harmony extends to combining green with neutrals. A sea-green works so well with raw timber, for instance.' explains Sarah. 'Green goes very well with natural textures, and in particular pale wood.
'Be thoughtful to pick colors you can thread through the home in fabrics and other home accents - cabinetry, trimwork - for this.' 5. They key to making this combination work? 'Grounding the pastel palette,' Cortney suggests. 'The color scheme for this kitchen is fresh, bold, bright and fun,' says interior designer Cortney Bishop (opens in new tab). While rich jewel-like greens and blues work together whether, more vibrant, primary and pastel tones can also work in the right scheme. 'By using the same tonal colour group, the two hues will complement one another.' 'As long as you carefully pair the right tones, this color combination can be an unexpected, yet striking pairing,' explains Helen Shaw, Director at Benjamin Moore (opens in new tab). Much like green and yellow, green is a color that goes with blue as a neighbor on the color wheel, making a tonal scheme again a great way to approach this palette. There's an old adage that 'blue and green should never be seen', but give a good interior designer a rule and they'll show you the exception to it, and how best to break it.īlue and green has become a designer favorite in recent times, for the very reason that it's a color pairing that feels new and exciting, and not overplayed. We knew that our best approach to using these bold colors was in knowing they will stand out but also keeping in mind that they need to feel like they belong.' 3. 'We did this by softening the brighter values of the red and green by pulling in wood tones and by adding in warmth with the metal finishes. 'In this case, the space needed to be exciting but also needed to have a soothing quality that the family could always enjoy,' says Katie. However, you're not bound to use the most basic red and green shades together, and the real joy in this combo is often found in the more interesting combinations of shades from each color family, as in this dining room color idea by Maestri Studio (opens in new tab). You might be surprised to see red feature on this list - after all, isn't red and green the preserve of Christmas? 'When using colors like red and green you're approaching the design with the intent to make a statement,' says interior designer Katie Paulsen from Maestri Studio.
