62 Room Colors That Bring Unexpected Vibrance to Any Space

Go beyond the standard neutrals.

Douglas Friedman

It's time to think beyond the usual neutral or black-and-white palette. Ask any interior designer, and they will tell about the transformative powers of color. Pastels can offer a soothing invitation to rest, a simple addition of a rich ruby shade can add just the right amount of drama, and a muted, earthy green may help to calm an over-the-top floral wallcovering.

Furthermore, color can make a big difference in every space of your home. While it may feel more natural to select a living room color palette or even colors for your dining room, your kitchens, bedrooms, and even home offices are other great spaces to pour on the color. And for those who are color curious, but cautious, consider trying out color on your ceiling first.

Whether it be glossy shades of orange or a bold, royal blue, color is key to establishing the ambience of a room and can take your entire design scheme to the next level. We've rounded up the best color combinations from top interior designers that prove the possibilities are truly endless. No matter your style, these unexpected pops of color are sure to inspire your next project.
