Selecting a room&#146;s paint colour based on the colour your hair is the latest trend in [modern decor](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/3form-2025-color-collection). An article in House Beautiful titled, &#147;Best Colors for Brunettes&#148; suggests brunettes are versatile and can &#147;swing with any color.&#148;

The article recommends various colors to paint rooms which would complement a [brown-haired](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ipsy-x-pantone) resident. The selections include [lavender](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/radiant-lilac), 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.
