Ask a Pro Q&A – Don’t Pale at Picking Colors: How to play around with seasonal hues

Don’t underestimate the classic sophistication of white or other neutrals to celebrate the season. Interior designer Jennifer Adams reviews which hues make your home a holiday destination.

Question: Which are the best colors of the season for now and later? We are going to paint soon.

White is always right! White gives any space a clean, airy look and blends with every style and taste. Choose a pure white if you prefer cool tones or a warmer off-white. Another option is a very pale gray, sand or tan with brownish undertones—not too pink, not too green and not too yellow. You can easily accent with brighter colors for the time of year or your personal taste.
