How to Choose Color Combinations

Start with Your Inspiration

Look at rooms you love, whether in magazines, Pinterest, or real life. Notice which colors appear together and how they're balanced. This will help you identify color combinations that appeal to your personal style.

Follow the 60-30-10 Rule

A well-balanced room typically uses 60% of a dominant color (usually walls), 30% of a secondary color (furniture, textiles), and 10% of an accent color (accessories, art). This creates visual harmony while keeping things interesting.

Consider Your Fixed Elements

Before choosing paint colors, look at what you can't change: flooring, countertops, fireplaces, and large furniture pieces. Your color palette should complement these fixed elements.

Test Before You Commit

Colors look different in different lighting and spaces. Always test paint samples on your actual walls, and look at them at different times of day. Even better, use our AI Visualizer to see colors in your room before buying.
