No matter what the color trend, we turn to the sea, shore and the beach when looking for room color schemes, Decor Palettes and paint color ideas.
The ocean and the beach are an open space of beautiful colors and textures. The sea is an ever changing play of blues and crisp whites, rolling up to a beige or white sandy beach, a pebble beach, or a rocky shore. And along with it, all kinds of treasures wash up, most commonly Seashells, Driftwood, and Seaglass providing infinite inspiration for color schemes and color palettes.
If you turn to the shore and the beach for room color palettes and color schemes, you don't have to figure out which colors work together. Color combinations made by nature are always perfect and timeless!

Blues with a little gray reflect an easy going beach vibe. Natural seagrass, darker wood, and classic black and white work beautifully with this palette, designer Nate Berkus says.
Seaglass Green, a color scheme consisting of blue-green hues. If you go too bright with this beach color scheme, you’re heading into turquoise or mint, designer Sasha Emerson points out.

Warm Gray, a color you see in beach pebbles and driftwood. This beach color palette also reminds of a quiet overcast day on the beach. Warm gray is neutral and timeless, more complex than cream or white, a soothing backdrop or to set the perfect scene to pop a bright accent color.
Gray mixed with Green & a touch of blue.
The driftwood color scheme consists of a wide range of neutral warm brown and beige tones. Driftwood Beach Print of Big Talbot Island from Great Big Canvas.

Coastal color schemes are not limited to nature (sea, sky, sand, shells, etc.), we can also capture the feeling of a favorite spot and ambiance by drawing inspiration from its beach culture; in this case, the giant wicker chairs on Germany's North Sea.
