Trend Color Spotlight: Soul Search

A modern dining room painted in a deep blue color called Soul Search T18-14. Decorative elements include a white ceramic plates and metallic gold-ware, a modern lighting fixture and an abstract painting.
When selecting color for a dining room, the first thing that might come to one’s mind is the thought that warm hues such as yellow, orange and red stimulate the appetite and are the ideal colors to use. Though this is true, to some extent, it isn’t a constraint on what colors can be used in a dining room. Don’t be afraid to break away and run with a bold blue like Soul Search T18-14 -a deep, soothing, aquatic blue inspired by the ocean depths.

Dining rooms should be convivial, welcoming and comfortable, a place to converge, dine, entertain and bond with your family.  Soul Search can bring all this and more.  The warm undertone of this blue, makes it a perfect pairing for gold metallic accents and blonde woods, creating a dining room with a beautiful and contemporary yet–eclectic feel.
Colorfully yours,
Diana

    What orange compliment this beautiful color.

    • Larayne Boaz says...

      Hi Sharon,
      Bright orange would complement this in a fun way! Try Cheerful Tangerine or Balcony Sunset. Or you could try a muted orange to help ground the brightness of the blue. Try Roasted Seeds or Orange Flambe. I suggest you try a color sample before you commit as the lighting, time of day and other items in the room may affect the color appearance.
      Colorfully yours,
      Larayne
