Dark steely greys and blues are particularly popular and work well with warm accent colors such as mustard and terracotta. Alternatively, warmer shades such as brown are beginning to find favor amongst those looking to decorate with the soothing earthy hues.

Warm colors are red, yellow, orange, gold, beige, creamy neutrals, brown, and tan. Warm colors will always add a sense of calm and security to a space. Think of the difference between a blue swimming pool, refreshing and bracing, and a collection of pumpkins on a front porch, inviting you to sit and stay a while.

Warm paint colors are more than just beige or taupe. They also can include beautiful shades of rust, red, brown, gold, and more. Light warm paint colors are ideal for open and airy living spaces while darker warm colors can work for accent walls, formal dining rooms, cozy dens, and bedrooms. They also can look great on furniture and cabinetry.
