Do these 5 colors look good together for a rooms color scheme?

Question

Purple, gray, black, pink, and either red or orange.

Black and purple not as much of main colors.

What colors would look together if these don't? Please use some of my original colors if you have a new idea.

I am a teen, so I hope that helps you decide if these are the right colors. Thanks in advance, I hope......=P

not much gray either, just have it in there a little here and there

Answer 1

In reality any colors can work together depending how they are applied and in what saturation. If I were you I'd probably use the brighter colors as accents and try to tie things in with them. For instance, say your wall is grey. It would be a good idea to bring in some art with red, orange, or pink tones, maybe even altogether. Just look for abstract or very saturated pieces(abstract and contemporary art tends to have higher saturations of the hues used) Then tie those peices in by introducing some pillows and other accents in those same colors. For purple its best to make any elements containing it large as it is most easily used an anchoring color because of its dark quality.Things like a comforter or an area rug is a good idea(try to find a dark purple area rug with the brighter colors you mentioned in it in small doses). Black is the most easily incorporated color because it fits in with most any room and matches all colors(its a neutral). Try bringing it in with furniture, light fixtures, and frames. Good luck! remember to simply use your eye. Its not about what's asthetically pleasing to everyone else because it is your room after all.

Answer 2

I think five of any color combo is going to be pretty busy. If this is the look you are going for great...hope it isn't a bedroom! You would never get to sleep!

The trick to balancing that many colors without your eyeballs bouncing plum out of your head...would be using one as a main color, and equal amounts of the others as secondary colors. Enough of each of the rest to avoid looking like an accident but not so much that they distract from the first, just little splashes in random places.

It would help calm things a bit if you stayed in the same color family, somewhat monochromatic, such as all purples or all pinks. At the very least stay on the same side of warm, cool, or neutral. Then you could use as many shades as you want and there is some cohesion to it. What makes your color scheme more workable is that gray is a derivative of black (so you have some monochromaticism) and a neutral, and the other three colors are all warm.

If you wanted to shake it up even more, you would throw in something like neon green (a cool color, high contrast to the others), or mix and match the intensity, such as a pale blush pink with an intense purple and a medium shade of orange...but this would be hard to read as a deliberate attempt, it would look like you were shopping in bad lighting.

Good luck with the room!

Answer 3

Use the color wheel. red/orange/yellow/green/blue/purple and back to red. Opposite colors compliment each other.

Pink is a shade of red so dont put it with red. or with purple for that matter.

Purple and orange look good together and grey and black are neutral so would work.

Use the 60/30/10 rule. 60% of the room should be your favorate color then use 30% as a lighter neutral ie grey. If you have a large room you could use black but this will make the room very small. 10% should be your accent colors.

My suggestion would be purple on three walls with a grey feature wall with black framed pictures on it. Then orange bed spread with off shade purple and black cushions. Carry the grey onto the ceiling.

Your final choice though as you have to live with it.

Answer 4

Hi... The ultimate rule is: If like them, go 4 it!
the colors u chose are all good together...
- if u use black, purple, gray, pink, and red, then u've got a very nice analogous color scheme to work with... it's resting and interesting and rather warm at the same time...
- if u want Orange instead of red, it could tricky because u need to use the absolute right orange for such a scheme... put samples of colors together before deciding, but Bear in mind the lighting in yr room both at day and night...

Good luck... and have fun with yr colors...! :)

Answer 5

I would limit it to two or three.....those sound like a little too much. Gray and pink would work.....a teen liking gray....that is awesome! Red might mix in nicely, but I am not sure about the orange. Good luck and have fun!

Answer 6

I think the two colors pink and black or pink and purple
If not how about, pink, red, and orange.
gray I don't like for a teen's room, and I'm a teen.

Answer 7

With that combination, I prefer the orange and a brighter pink.

My daughters' room is black and white with accents of purple, orange and pink. It looks great!
