Color Guides

Color guides for real rooms: which colors go with the walls, floors and sofas you already have, and which palettes define each decor style. Each guide gives named color combinations with the main color, the supporting shades and an accent, plus where to use each one, so you can choose paint, textiles and decor that work together.
Start with the neutrals most homes already have: what colors go with gray, what colors go with beige and what colors go with sage green. A simple rule that holds across all of them: about 60% main color, 30% secondary and 10% accent.
Decorating toward a style? See the Japandi color palette, the boho color palette, the coastal color palette, the modern farmhouse palette and the dark academia palette. For walls you cannot paint, the renter-safe accent wall ideas show how to add color without a brush.
