What Color Should You Choose?
As a painter in the Pacific Northwest I often get ask about popular paint color schemes. There are several popular colors that I can recommend to customers. Our region's natural beauty and unique atmosphere often inspire specific color choices that harmonize with the surroundings. Here are some popular colors for consideration:
Earthy Greens: Shades of mossy green, forest green, or sage can capture the lushness of the Pacific Northwest's landscapes. These colors evoke a sense of tranquility and blend well with the abundant evergreen trees in the region.
Coastal Blues: Soft blues reminiscent of the ocean and sky are often popular choices for coastal areas in the Pacific Northwest. Light and airy shades like seafoam, sky blue, or pale turquoise can create a serene and refreshing ambiance.
Misty Grays: The region's frequent mist and fog create a unique atmosphere that can be beautifully reflected in interior color choices. Soft, cool grays with hints of blue or green undertones can evoke a sense of mystery and calm.
Natural Browns: Embracing the rustic charm of the Pacific Northwest, warm and natural brown hues such as chocolate, taupe, or caramel can add a grounding element to interior spaces. These colors work well with wooden accents and create a cozy feel.
Berry Tones: Drawing inspiration from the region's abundant berries, incorporating berry-inspired colors can bring vibrancy and depth to any space. Rich burgundies, deep raspberries, or luscious purples can add a touch of sophistication and warmth.
Misty Lavenders: Soft lavenders and lilacs can evoke a sense of tranquility and reflect the ethereal quality often associated with the Pacific Northwest. These colors work well in bedrooms or areas where relaxation is a priority.
