A neutral color palette is calming and good for resale.
Choose a color palette that you like for your home interior, not just one that is popular or trendy. If blues please you when you enter your home, than by all means feel comfortable in choosing that ocean blue palette. If you own a home that will soon be put on the market, choose a palette that will easily appeal to most buyers. A warm neutral color palette is best in a resale situation.
Shades of Gray
Pull in muted grays as background for a Zen interior.
According to Sherwin-Williams, subtle colors that enhance modern or minimalistic furniture trends contain shades of muted grays, with a bit of musky yellows and toned-down whites thrown into the mix. These colors should be applied in a matte or softly glazed finish that will withstand daily wear and tear. Blended throughout your home, these tones can offer a neutral palette without being a boring and sterile off-white.
Tribal Influence
Choose a tribal color palette to enhance natural and animal print furnishings.
Paint your walls in colors rich from the bounties of nature. Dark but vibrant reds, sedate shades of suede and putty, dark slate blue and charcoal black are the color palettes used to bring in aboriginal influences of tribal cultures. This palette will work well with natural leathers, animal prints and dark wood furnishings. If you want deep and mysterious, this color palette will work well for you.
Inspiration Color
Based on this inspiration piece, walls could be painted yellow or blue.
Benjamin Moore recommends an analogous approach to interior color choices. Choose something in each room that you love--perhaps an afghan knitted by a loved one or a favorite print with one pop of vibrant color. Use that as the basis of your paint palette for the room. Take the item to the paint store and ask the staff to match the color. Use that as the predominant color on the walls. Make certain you have furnishings that contrast, so that the inspiration item is noticeable once the work is complete.
