Paint Selection by Haircolour

Best Room Colors for Brunettes

Selecting a room’s paint colour based on the colour your hair is the latest trend in modern decor. An article in House Beautiful titled, “Best Colors for Brunettes” suggests brunettes are versatile and can “swing with any color.”

The article recommends various colors to paint rooms which would complement a brown-haired resident. The selections include lavender, pink, pale blue, dark red and a greyish taupe.

I suppose we choose to wear clothing in colours we think look flattering on us, so why not the walls of your house too? I hope there will be additional articles for blondes and redheads. I'd hate to think they would be abandoned in their uncomplementary rooms.
