Pink and beige might seem like a blah color combo, but it's one that we appreciate in certain contexts. We've seen it work really well in bedrooms, from Molly Ringwald's pad in Pretty in Pink to mor...
Yellow is the color of 2009. However trendy it may be, most people don't use yellow to decorate an entire room. We do see it used a lot as an accent choice, since it's perfect for adding some bold c...
We love blue interiors. We see dark navy and pale robin’s egg walls a lot in catalogs and magazine photos, but blue is not a color we see all that frequently in real-life homes. It’s not as easy...
It's been a rainy couple of days here in the Midwest, and this color combo just felt like the right one to post this evening. Cool and sophisticated, silver works with a range of blues, from robin's...
This color combination is inspired by the leaves that have already started to turn in some parts of the country. As we get ready for the seasonal change, we're looking at rooms that take their cue f...
Peonies come in the most beautiful shades: deep reddish pinks, pale and delicate rose colors, electric hot pinks. They look great paired with a graphic black-and-white color scheme, whether you use ...
Pink and yellow are cheerful colors that work well in rooms where you want to add some warmth. We probably wouldn't use it in a bedroom, since it's on the bright side, but it's great in kitchens, di...
This color combo is surprisingly light and airy, even though it incorporates some hues from the darker end of the spectrum. It leans towards cool tones, with a pale blue that's got a little bit of g...
When we visited Hancock Shaker Village in Massachusetts a couple of weeks ago, we saw the most beautiful yellow trim in one of the bedrooms. This yolk-colored yellow was used not only for interior t...
In the right context, neutrals can be as rich as bright colors. Classic combinations like black and white stand the test of time thanks to their ability to adapt and evolve in relation to other col...
In keeping with the 60s-ish op-art patterns we spotted a NeoCon last week, a return to a distinctly retro color combination. The Izzy+ showroom featured a palette......
Red is one of those colors that looks great against almost any neutral, but it gets an extra kick from cool grays. We especially love seeing the way the two colors balance one another when the red ...

click thumbnails for larger pics Teal is a cool color that mixes blue and green in nearly equal parts. Any color changes a lot depending on what you pair it with and how you light it, but teal is esp...

We love this kitchen from Inspace, not only for the Eames chairs and Saarinen table but also for the subdued gray-green and off-white color palette. This classic color combo is very Martha. Although...
It's not a color combo you see very often, but when done right hot pink and dark blue can look surprisingly chic. We found a few photos of pink paired with hues ranging from navy to royal to dark pu...
We fell in love with the dining room of decorator Fawn Galli when we first saw it in Domino last April. When we spotted it a second time in Domino's Book of Decorating, we were even more intrigued b...
Much like the of-the-moment blue and black color combo, this pairing can feel moody or modern. Unlike blue and black, this pairing can lean in either a warm or cool direction, depending on the under...
Green is a color that looks great layered. In nature, varying shades of green are laid on top of one another all the time. If you look closely at a green leaf, you might see a brownish-green stem, y...
