If you’re considering trying this decorating technique, we’ve put together a list of the best two color combination for bedroom walls.

  • What 2 colors go well together in a bedroom?

Pairing blue with brown is considered the best two color combination for bedroom walls. The soothing blue plays well with the organic nature of brown.

You can change the shades of the wall paint depending on the style you’re trying to achieve and the natural sun exposure the room receives. Different shades of the same color will have a different impact on the mood of the room, so it’s important to take some time to test different colors using a color wheel with a variety of paint chips.

You may lean towards a darker shade of a base color, or you can go with the complementary color, which is the color directly across from the base color on the color wheel.

  • Which wall color is best for bedroom?

Any cool color, like a light shade of purple, green, or blue, works as a  bedroom color. The colors are peaceful and restful.

If you’re really stuck, there are consultants available online to guide you through the process. Asian Paints is a company that specializes in color combinations for every room. They use state-of-the-art technology to combine their paint colors, creating your ideal bedroom color scheme.
