Cool Colors

Cool colors sit apart from warm reds, oranges, and yellows because they draw from green, blue, indigo, and violet. They show up in baths, bedrooms, offices, cabinetry, tile, and shaded exteriors.

Using cool in your home

Cool colors are useful where heat and glare need balancing: south facing bedrooms, sunny kitchens, bathrooms, offices, and exterior siding. North light is already cool, so blues like Aegean Blue or Nordic Shore can deepen quickly. Pair with warm white, oak, stone, linen, brass, or a small warm accent. Avoid layering too many cool surfaces together. Blue gray walls, cool tile, and white LEDs can make a room feel clinical.

Frequently asked questions

What colors are considered Cool?

Cool colors include blue, blue green, green, violet, and many blue grays. Some can still feel soft if they are muted.

Best Cool paint colors?

Try Farrow & Ball Ancona Blue (LRV 72.3), Behr Absolute Zero (LRV 82.1), or Sherwin-Williams Cascades (LRV 4).

Do Cool colors work in north facing rooms?

Yes, but they read cooler and darker there. Add warm lighting and sample at night before committing.
