The other day I showed you how I chose Hawthorne Yellow from Benjamin Moore for the exterior of my house and now I am off to the paint store today to nail down the accents colors. In my quest to figure out my color combination I found some most inspiring photos, and wanted to share.
This old historical house is wonderful in architecture, and while my house is not this style, its color combination so inspired me that I am going to create my own version of this combination.
As you see, the colors are gray, yellow, white and red. Look how they have used three colors that are harmonious to one another, and then the pop of color that the red adds to what would be an ohterwise subdued color scheme.
As I was searching the internet for yellow color combinations, my inspiration went even further and I began to find interior pictures that I loved. There is no doubt that I will have to implement this luscious combination somewhere in my home as we remodel. I mean what isn't to love about yellow and gray? They are the perfect marriage of a cool and warm color, creating a soothing pallette that anyone could live with.
And...more inspiring photos showing this winning color scheme!
What colors inspire you? Start looking around with your eye wide open and you may discover a new found combination you never thought of before.
Such a fresh combination! I remember when I was in high school my mom painted all the woodwork in our house gray. No one understood why, since back then no one used gray like that! I love the idea of it being pared with yellow to warm it up, so pretty!
