A Zen color palette for the home might be all cool and earthy tones of gold, greens, browns. Of course, you could use a lot of wood accessories for this type of look as well.

Zen Garden colors include:
• Browns and gold
• Grays, yellows
• Purples

You could also have some cool grays with oranges for a refreshing look. This is especially good if you’re looking to avoid the monotone colors of wintertime. Use lighter shades like blues or greens as accent colors against darker neutrals like browns and tans for your patio.

A Mediterranean color palette is a beautiful addition to any home. It’s bright and colorful, with an earthy undertone that creates a sense of warmth.

Mediterranean colors include:

  • Light Reds, oranges, and yellows
  • Olive green, forest greens, and navy blues
  • Creamy white with touches of beige or brown.

A Mediterranean color palette is perfect for summertime because its sunny qualities help keep everyone in a good mood! These colors are also very versatile, so that you can bring them indoors as well. Whether it’s in the patio outdoors or your living room at home, this family will make everything look brighter. Just remember that these tones tend to have more yellow than blue undertones, which pairs beautifully with natural light from the sun during daytime hours as long as there isn’t too much direct sunlight shining on the surface.

Yellow and gray work well for a traditional summertime feel. These two colours are perfect if you’re looking to create a more ‘beachy’ atmosphere on your patio with the addition of palm trees and decorations that make it seem like you’re in an exotic location far from home.

Yellow and White
Yellow and white are a classic summertime colour palette. These two colours work well if you’re looking to have a more ‘beachy’ atmosphere around your patio while also giving your house that traditional feel using white wicker furniture and other items in the home.

Mint and Pale Gray
Mint and pale gray together are a great colour palette for those who want a more contemporary feel to their home and patio. This colour combination is popular among homeowners with children or pets as it has a calming effect on both people and animals alike.

Blush and Mahogany
Blush and mahogany are two colours that are perfect for the home. These colours together make a fantastic coordinated set that can be used in any room of your house, not just the living area or patio.

Blush is a soft colour while mahogany has a bold look, and these two work well when paired with one another as they each add something different to the setting. This combination will also give you room to experiment as they complement many other colors. Try adding a modular sofa, which gives you even more ways to experiment without worrying about matching the color up with other items in your decorating scheme!

Sapphire and Mustard
Sapphire and mustard work well together on the patio as they can be used to create a more outdoorsy feel. These colours will also work well with other pieces you may already have in your home if you’re looking for an easy way to spruce up your outdoor area!

Conclusion
When deciding on the perfect palette for your home or patio, consider how these colors will look together and what they’ll bring out in each other. You might want to use darker shades as an accent wall while using lighter tones throughout the space. Have any of these color schemes inspired you?
