1.Orange, Brown, and Chartreuse
Brown creates the perfect backdrop for these two very different, bold colors. "Orange is a very individual color, if I were to put an Hermes box on a table it looks amazing. It's a color that you identify with but you don't want to be steeped in,"
Jeff Andrews of Jeff Andrews Design says. "If you want to do a touch of color it should be original. Chartreuse is the same way and is so underrated. Orange and chartreuse like each other." But stay away from pastel orange, Andrews advises — it's wimpy.
2.Deep Teal and Cognac
These two rich colors always work well together. "I find that a deep teal paired with a saddle brown or a soft mustard tone complements gray and natural wood tones," says Nayak. "It has a sophisticated look, and they work really well with brown, grays, and whites. Utilizing these neutral colors, you can do anything you want when it comes to adding texture."
3.Emerald and Mint
Green is an incredibly versatile color and it pairs well with pretty much any other color explains interior designer,
Alexandra Kaehler of Alexandra Kaehler Design, no matter what room you're using it in. "It creates a lot of interest and they're both in the green family but are such different saturations of green, it doesn't look like a green circus," says Kaehler. If you're trying to make it feel bright and fresh, pair these two colors with white walls or you can add a deep rich green with brown and all of a sudden it creates a rich, masculine energy.
4.Navy Blue, White, and Wood
5. Dusty Purple, Cream and Taupe
6.
Yellow and Green
When people are looking for a fun pop of color you can count on this retro '70s pairing. "These colors work together because they are slight derivatives of one another. They're in the same sort of palette, but are different enough to add contrast," says Andrews. "I think for every light color in a room there needs to be something darker to ground it — even if it's not a color, even if it's a metal finish. There has to be dimension in a room." Just beware of using pattern with these colors; otherwise it could look a little
too retro
