An uninhibited hot pink, makes this room positively vibrate, especially against the crisp white frame. Mellow accents such as the decreased paisley upholstery and the sandy-hued simple coir rug keep it from descending into Barbie’s dream house madness.

Apricot color is a sweet color, but not satisfying. Benjamin Moore’s August Morning, a shade of orange, is exciting, like red, but less intensely so. Instead of being forceful and empowering, it’s balancing and calming. The color also suits almost every skin tone and lifts the mood.
LIVEN UP WITH BRIGHT YELLOW

Nothing beats sunny joyful lights in the kitchen or breakfast room. We’re attracted to yellow because it represents the sun’s power to nurture life. So use it in rooms where family and friends gather. But remind this, if you’re prone to anxiety avoid its more powerful iterations.

Green is nature’s neutral. Like in a garden, it sets off all kinds of different collared flowers. Green is also right in the centre of the color spectrum, making a bridge between cool and warm colors. So go ahead mix this fresh color.

If the result of painting a whole room a vibrant blue hue leaves you reaching for the Xanex, try just a small dose. Finishing one wall in an otherwise white or cream-colored room with a full shade, such as Behr’s Deep Blue Sea, can actually generate a soothing focal point.
Unwind with Lavender

Try light violet for an alternative to blue in the bedroom. It has the same calming effect.
