Imitating Art: Color Palettes out of Paintings

Looking to refresh your house with a new colour scheme, but don’t know where to begin? Here is a hint that will help: Swipe the colors from a painting. Talented artists understand how to compose colors beautifully, therefore using those colors as guidance is a simple method to discover a palette that will work. I’ve gathered five paintings with alluring colour palettes and paired them with five chambers that incorporate their mixes to demonstrate how.

Contemporary Artwork – $399.95

Classic glamour. Towers of rich colors reveal the contrast and attractiveness of the mix. A dark turquoise injects some brio into the palette.

That turquoise color I said will be used lightly in this living room, where brown and white predominate. All of the other colors give substance and dimension to this space.

Elysian – Karen Dupre – $449.95

Citrus allure. This painting shows the colors of the sea and the colors of the country; green and blue consistently look great together. It’s a fresh combination that is also soothing.

RLH Studio

Several colors of green and blue mimic the colour palette of the painting, creating a casual and pleasing ambiance. When taking cues from paintings, do not restrict yourself to its precise colors; consider the very same colors in darker and lighter hues.

Original Oil Painting Big Abstract in Red by Rossana Novella – $235

Candy colored. This painting is bursting with delicious colors of orange and pink. Using white indicates a lighter colour needs to be present to let the glowing ones shine.

Vanessa De Vargas

When the bright colors from the painting are used in a room, white keeps things balanced while deep colors of pink and orange attract character and style.

Ben automne by LaBokoff – $30

Upgraded classic. Add warmth and liveliness with a combination of orange and brown, two hues that complement each other in this gorgeous painting. There are two colors of orange : a very bright one in the bottom and a much milder one in the center. The white hue at the top provides clarity and balance to the painting.

Willman Interiors / Gina Willman

Orange is used as an accent color in this exotic room while white is found in simple bedding and a rug. Colours of brown anchor the look. Bear in mind, you always have the option to change accent colors for a whole new feel without spending a lot.

Twilight 2 – Caroline Gold – $89.95

Modern pink. Pink and grey collide beautifully by virtue of the white trim. There are two colors of grey here with pink taking center stage.

Elad Gonen

A little pink goes a very long way in this contemporary living room. As from the painting, there are a variety of shades of grey, white generates a trimming effect and pink appears in delicate accessories and stunning blossoms.
