• light coral (peach);
• pink coral;
• bright coral (salmon);
• red coral;
• dark coral.

If the color resembles both red and orange, but you cannot confidently call it one of them, then it is coral. Its use in the interior of an apartment is an excellent solution for those who love red, but do not dare to use it in interior design. However, when choosing coral, you need to be careful – otherwise it will not decorate the interior, but spoil it.

All shades of coral radiate warmth and vitality. This is the color of optimism and cheerfulness, energy and joy. When looking at objects of this color, a person feels a surge of strength and an improvement in mood. Warm coral is well suited for decorating rooms located on the north side.

Features of use in the interior

Coral-colored objects appear closer visually, so a room whose walls are painted this color will appear smaller than it actually is. Therefore, this design color will be a good choice only for spacious rooms. If you really want to buy coral wallpaper, it is better to choose the lightest shades for this, and also dilute them with various accessories – paintings made in soothing colors, a floor lamp, mirrors.

Coral looks best in details that add bright accents to the room. In this case, the most advantageous option is one large item and several small ones that complement it.
If a bright shade is used in the interior, then all other colors should be muted – otherwise the room will seem too colorful and tiring.

Shades of coral change in different lighting: the same paint can appear pink-coral in dim light and red-coral in bright light. It can also visually change depending on its color partners present in the interior.

It is not necessary to use only one shade of color in the interior. For example, the curtains can be red-coral, and the sofa or armchair can be lighter. You can also add notes of coral-related colors to such an interior – red, pink and orange. The main thing is not to overdo it, otherwise the room will feel stuffy.

Combination with other colors

Turquoise and light blue
Light turquoise, like blue, goes well with coral – both of these colors are associated with the sea or ocean and therefore make a winning pair. Coral is a warm color, which means it harmonizes well with cool shades. Small objects that place accents in a bright room – for example, sofa cushions – look very beautiful in these colors. You can also make a delicate shade of turquoise or blue the main tone of the interior and add coral notes to it.

White and gray
All shades of coral color against a light background perfectly reveal their beauty and depth, and the overall appearance of the room is significantly enlivened and looks much more interesting. It can also be combined with other light colors – creamy, creamy, delicate beige, but in this case it is better to use brighter shades of coral.

Green and yellow
A duet of coral with such colors is a rather bold decision, however, if you choose not the brightest shades, the interior will look interesting and harmonious. A room decorated with coral and soft green, close to pistachio, or light yellow looks warm and sunny.

Application in rooms

Bedroom
If the bedroom is decorated in white or soft beige, you can make one of its walls a coral color, which will give the room a fresh and summery look. A coral chest of drawers, ottoman, bedspread or dressing table also perfectly diversifies the bright environment. You can decorate the headboard or bedside table with this color. The bedroom, made in light shades of beige and coral, acquires an atmosphere of serenity and tranquility that is so important for this room.

Living room
In a light gray, creamy, cream or white living room, you can put a coral-colored sofa or armchairs – they will not only add brightness to the interior, but also emphasize the background shades. You can combine a beige sofa and coral chairs – using light decor will turn out very well. Coral curtains also look good in the living room.

A win-win option is decorative sofa pillows, made in any shades of this color: they will perfectly complement both a light interior with details of natural “wooden” colors, and a “cooler” room in gray or blue tones. The same can be said about those rooms that are furnished using soft green, mint, brown and beige. To complement the pillows, you can purchase coral photo frames, wall decorations, vases or flower pots.

Kitchen
If you want to use color as the main one in the kitchen, you can decorate the facades of the furniture in light shades of coral – the doors of cabinets and drawers. There is no need to add other items of this color to such an interior – there will be too much of it, and the kitchen will not look gentle and beautiful, but annoying. A coral kitchen set harmonizes well with white walls and dark furniture. If the kitchen furniture is made in the color of natural wood, you can, on the contrary, paint the walls in a light shade of coral or decorate it with small details of this color – towels, napkins, stools. However, when using coral in the kitchen interior, there is no need to complement it with other warm colors.

The combination of coral color is the exotic beauty of a tropical vacation. They largely depend on the shades. For you there are 10 palettes with 5 colors and 12 with 16 colors + a selection of shoes.

You have a wonderful coral-colored thing on your hands. And while this beauty lies on the shelf, because a complete ensemble (skirt, jacket, shoes, etc.) has not been selected for it. The tone is quite complex and unusual. You can, of course, follow the beaten path and combine it with neutral colors: black, white, gray, beige, but with such an abundance of “colors” in the store, template options will not add charm to you. And some believe: nothing ages a woman more than outdated style.

Shades of coral color

Shades of coral can be represented from light – pale coral to red. All of them are clean, soft, warm, but slight cloudiness in the form of an admixture of gray is also possible.

Combination of coral with other colors

The combination of coral with other colors most often relies on thermal contrast. The shades of this tone are all very warm and therefore are fully revealed next to the cold range, such as emerald, blue-green, light blue, indigo, violet. Combinations with warm tones are not excluded. As a bright touch, it looks amazing with neutral tones, taking pride of place in the composition.

Combination of coral and pink close to a related range, since the tone is in the middle between red, orange and pink, however, this palette also contains cool pinks that will look interesting next to summer coral. Consider combinations, for example, with sakura, lilac-lilac, fuchsia, amaranth, lingonberry.

Coral goes with red with pronounced light contrast. These colors are similar. Coral can serve as a highlight in a red color scheme, where burgundy can serve as a shadow, so this combination has volume that will highlight the complex, multifaceted coral. The palette includes pomegranate, dark red, cherry, red earth, and wine.

How to combine coral with orange? The orange range is especially close to the main tone: they are in the same light range, consist of the same color dyes, however, they have a predominance of yellow. These colors transform into each other: our eye completes the intermediate shades, resulting in a fluid and silky gamut. Consider pairs with light peach, mango, pumpkin, dark orange, and red.

Coral and yellow – color combination sultry, cheerful, sometimes cloying, but at the same time tender and feminine. Yellows are lighter than the main tone, so they bring spaciousness and freshness, but only if they are complex and muted, so as not to interrupt the color of the corals, but to emphasize its sophistication. The table included champagne, apricot, pear, curry, and bright gold.

Coral goes with warm green in a lush natural palette. Although the greens are warm, they will already be cooler than the main tone, which creates a moderate thermal contrast. The darker the green, the brighter the light contrast and the more expressive the combination. For example, consider a combination with pale green, yellow-green, khaki, brown-green, dark green.

Combination of coral with cool green – tropical and amazing. It shows a bright thermal contrast that transforms the color. Light, bright and especially medium shades of blue-green, such as water green, neon green, mint, emerald, malachite, will go well together.

Coral with blue – combination with extremely strong thermal contrast. If we imagine blue as the color of water, then coral will feel in its element with it, and we imagine the combination as a memory of the warmed southern islands with amazing flora and fauna. In this case, a combination with blue would be more pleasant, although dark tones create a deep light contrast. The table consists of soft blue, sky blue, dark turquoise, royal blue, blueberry.

Coral and purple go together harmonious due to the red color-forming tone. This makes it possible to smoothly shade the color while maintaining a moderate thermal contrast. Light lilac tones will emphasize the tenderness of the main shade, while dark ones will add a bright light contrast to the composition. The more red there is in purple, the more softly they combine. For example, a combination with blue-violet, lavender, orchids, red-violet, eggplant.

Combination of coral and brown – soft, velvety, natural. The brown tone also contains red, and also yellow. These two shades are complex, multi-component and look great together. Brown can tame our wild summer tone, give it a more business-like look, or create a calming palette. The composition includes light brown, light chestnut, mahogany, chocolate, coffee.

Color combination coral and white, gray, beige, black (neutral tones) – different and at the same time they have a lot in common. In such combinations, all neutral shades fade into the background, revealing the beauty of the main tone, but everyone does it differently. White brings freshness, gray brings the combination closer to business, beige adds elegance and gloss, and black adds evening grace. For example, consider a combination with creamy, light beige, gray-olive, marengo, shoe polish.

Yellow-coral goes well

Yellow coral is a warm shade that looks good on golden skin. And if you have cool undertones, you can discover them with a good southern tan. And if neither a solarium nor the beach shines for you on harsh summer days, then a self-tanning can help you (it will give a golden tint, which is difficult to achieve in the usual way). Yellow-coral is good for both office and leisure. Enjoy this warm slice of summer.
