Mid-Century Modern color palettes

Mid-Century Modern color starts with wood. Teak and walnut carry the room, the walls stay quiet, and one or two saturated colors from the 1950s and 60s, mustard, burnt orange, olive or teal, go on the pieces you can move.

Mid-Century Modern

Every color, and where it goes

Hex codes to match against paint and fabric samples. Colors on screens and in daylight never quite agree, so hold a sample up in the room before you commit.

Teak and Mustard

The classic: warm, sunny and a little retro, for a living room that gets afternoon light.

How to use a palette

Every palette here is listed from the most of the room to the least. Keep roughly to that order and the colors hold together.

  1. 1

    Most of the room: the first color

    The walls, and often the ceiling. A light, quiet color that everything else sits against.

  2. 2

    A third: the next two

    The big pieces: the sofa, the rug, the wood. They set the mood of the room.

  3. 3

    A tenth: the last two

    Cushions, a lamp, frames, a vase. Small, so a bold accent stays an accent.
