Color Palette of the Week – Flint Grey with a Splash of Antique Red

December 9th, 2009

I was attracted to the shades of grey and warm textures and natural elements accented by the pop of the brightly colored bowl in the photo in the middle, and the grey tones in the photograph of a fern.  Inspired by these, I pulled together examples of rooms that have a warm grey palette with accents of antique red in them.  Notice that some have dark walls and light floors, while others have the reverse.  Either way, these are warm, sophisticated and cozy rooms I would enjoy living in.  What do you think of them?  Too dark?  Not enough color for you?

For similar colors try:
