Color and Wood Tone: How to Choose Colors That Go Together
Use these tips to find the best paint colors and finishes to complement your wood furniture and trimwork around the house.
Whether
your furnishings are Mission-style oak, country pine, or high-style
mahogany, the beauty of the wood deserves a background that shows it to
best advantage. The question, however, is not really what color goes
with oak or mahogany, but rather, what color will best enhance your
wood's finish.
Don't Get Too Matchy-Matchy
Develop
a natural, evolved look in your home with items that go together
comfortably but do not match exactly. Each type of wood has a
characteristic color and grain pattern, and the color also can be
altered with stain. Furniture makers have used stains and varnishes for
centuries, both to enhance the appearance of the grain and to change the
color of the wood. The stains sold at home improvement
centers are generally named for the types of wood they simulate: Maple,
cherry, walnut, mahogany, ebony, oak, and fruitwood are the most common
types.
Over time, wood furnishings acquire a rich patina that
gives the surface depth and complexity. Newer woods and veneers may lack
this complexity, but they still have an overall color tone that may be
yellow, orange, red-brown, bluish brown, or dark brown.
To choose
wall colors or fabrics that will enhance your wood pieces, consider the
dominant hues in the finish. Also consider whether you prefer the drama
of high contrast or the richness of low-contrast pairings. Don't worry
about all the wood pieces in a room matching -- the casual, comfortable,
gathered-over-time look of mixed woods is perfectly appropriate today.
Use Contrast to Call Attention
Dark finishes,
such as mahogany, walnut, or cherry, stand out in sharp relief against
any light color, whether it's a tint of green or blue or a hue from the
sunny side of the color wheel. In the same way, light wood shows up boldly against dark or strong color on the walls.
The
contrast calls more attention to the furniture, a plus if you have a
fine piece you want to focus on. If you have a lot of dark furniture in a
light-color room, however, the space may feel busier than it would if
the furniture blended in. If you love the look of dark wood against
light walls (or light furniture against dark walls), keep furniture
arrangements orderly and streamlined to offset the impression of
crowding.
To achieve high contrast with medium-tone finishes, keep the wall color soft and light, creating as much difference as possible between the values of the wood color and the wall.
You
can also use the colors in the furniture finish as a cue for wall
colors. If the dominant color in the wood appears to be red, then a
green background will enhance and intensify the wood's hue. <https://www.bhg.com/decorating/color/basics/color-and-wood-tone/> I think you should consider: https://kellymoore.com/company/press-room/press-release-detail/2017/10/11/2018-color-of-the-year
