This is a cozy color combo that we've noticed in several recent house tours. (The image above is a close-up from Nicole and Brandon's Oak Park Bungalow.) The trio of earth tones make a room warm and inviting. Rich browns also help to anchor pale shades of yellow and ivory. Click below for more examples from AT house tours.

I don't dislike this color palette in general, but don't you find that those light shades of yellow tend to make many lighter-skinned people look sallow?
