Color Ideas from the World of Art 3

THE PAPER CUTTER



This hand-colored, period engraving presents a fine palette of adjacent colors—golden mustards, rich browns, and deep, tawny reds.

This could be an ideal scheme for a living room, den, office, or hallway.



GIRL WITH ORANGE



This finely done illustration suggests an elegant neutral palette, with the main wall color coming from the soft grays of the little girl's dress, paired with the darker grays of the shadows. The color of the orange, the little girl is holding creates a warm, vibrant accent—enlivening the palette.

This charming scheme would be lovely for a bedroom, living room, or entryway



AUTUMN BUGGY RIDE



Here's an idea for a comforting color scheme based on an autumnal theme. The wall colors could be picked up from the warm beige of the woman's jacket, or from the lighter putty colors of her dress, with a refreshing accent coming from the complementary mid-green of the hedge.

This palette would be the perfect choice for a bedroom, living room, dining room, or family room.
