Moody + Dramatic Color Pairings We're Loving

Bringing drama into a space doesn't necessarily mean everything in the room needs to be super dark. You can get a dark and dramatic vibe through art, books, accessories and, yes, wall color.

Classically, these colors just work. This year, blue is a bit more adventurous and this zesty shade of red keeps it from feeling too Americana.

This pairing really takes a page out of Mother Nature's playbook. There's something really soothing about rich alpine green against a deep brown. It's grounded, earthy and dependable.

Mixing jewel-tone blues is downright brilliant (and foolproof!). Majestic blues are pretty without being overly feminine. And once you add a warm tan or taupe into the mix, the palette feels just right.
