HOME DECOR COLOR TREND - Fall 2022: CHARTREUSE

Disclaimer: This post contains affiliate links which may result in me getting a small commission for any items purchased. Thank you :)

CHARTREUSE is one of those colors that is usually described not by it’s name, but what it is: Bright green, green yellow, yellowish green…

This color is a bright pop of “whatever you call it” to a room and can bring a boring, neutral or lackluster room to attention.

WHAT IS CHARTREUSE?

According to Wikipedia, the color CHARTREUSE is 50% green and 50% yellow.

I’d say that’s accurate.

If you are looking for a brighter green, it works.

If you are looking for a greenish yellow, it works.


What colors work with CHARTREUSE?

As seen in the artwork above, other colors that can work with chartreuse are a warmer orange, like a burnt orange or warm coral.


Also, purple is a great accent to chartreuse! The deep plum/eggplant has a warmer base (a deep red purple vs. a more blue/purple). This is a great fit to the color palette when using chartreuse in a room.


The best colors are warm oranges, burnt orange/red and warmer purple with a red undertone, like the last two purples shown above.

AVOID WITH CHARTREUSE: Stay away from anything with a blue or grey undertone. This is a warm-based color and works well with other warm-based colors (oranges, warm reds, warm browns, warmer purples (think plum or red grape vs. violet or lavender).


How Do I Make Chartreuse More Elegant?

I would suggest using more muted red/orange or a brownish-plum to help create a warm, but elegant look with this funky color.
