The most important things about the colour blue
Beige colours are always mixtures of white and brown. The darker the brown colour component, the darker the beige. Conversely, a larger proportion of white leads to lighter colour shades. Beige shades also differ in their other tonalities. Depending on which other pigments are added to a beige shade or which components make up the brown component, they can have very different effects. For example, a beige shade with some yellow colour components can have the colour of an almost white sandy beach; if the colour shade has a greater depth of colour, it is reminiscent of wet sand.
Beige can be mixed with warm white to create an elegant cream shade, while mixing it with grey produces a colour between grey and beige, known as greige
Effect of blue colour
The wall paint beige brings warmth, brightness and an atmosphere of cosiness into your home in all variations and colour nuances. With beige, you can create a timeless interior design that also allows for other colours in the room. This gives you many options when designing your rooms in terms of textiles and upholstery.
Beige tones also have an interesting effect when they are used tone on tone. They then create an atmosphere of serenity, timelessness and elegance.
Design rooms blue
There are no limits to your creativity when it comes to interior design. You should just make sure to combine beige wall paints with colour shades whose pigments occur in the respective beige tone. The human eye unconsciously establishes a connection between the nuances of the colours and finds this harmonious continuation pleasant.
You should avoid blue here
Beige can actually always be used. In rooms that are not well lit, you should avoid dark beige tones to avoid creating a gloomy effect. However, light, fresh champagne tones can also liven up small, rather dark rooms. Beige furnishings are particularly recommended for small rooms. Tone-on-tone wall and furniture designs make small rooms appear larger.
Alternatives to blue colour
If you have the courage to go for something a little cooler in your home, grey tones as wall paints would be a neutral alternative to beige tones.
