Eau de Nil (water of the Nile) is a cool, light bluish-green hue with a little tan undertone. It was popular in the middle of the 1800s when Europe was Egypt-obsessed but much more subdued colors were desired after Empire style. It complements very well the palette of light neutrals (e.g. creme, off-white, light beige, sand) but even looks good on big surfaces.
Neutral beiges and browns are thought to be safe color choices
Fresh blue palettes from intensive to subdued tones
Every December Pantone company announces the color of the next year which effects interior design also. Illuminating no. 13-0647 and Ultimate Gray no. 17-5104 are the colors of the year 2021.
The grey member of the pair is a perfect neutral hue. It can be found in nature, for example among colors of pebbles and rocks. It works perfectly as a background because it strenghtens every other color. As its name indicates, it gives a solid base.
The yellow member of the pair is a warm and strong color, which enlivens the space and brings happyness in everyday life. It looks especially stong near the grey, although it is not a too vivid hue.
Both colors are mid-dark tones which can be used in interior design very well. Complementing them with white, a more subdued effect can be reached. However, adding a little black to them can further enhance the lightening effect of yellow.
The combination of the two colors can be freely used for example in kitchen, home office, living room or even in kids room.
Ask for help of an interior designer for making the colors of the year 2021 appear in your home in style.

Navy blue is a really dark shade, which gives elegance and depth for the space. It can be used instead of black if it would be too rigid or sombre. It got its name from the color of clothes worn by officers in the Royal Navy since 1748 and adopted by other navies around the world. It looks best paired with white.
In the case of a monochromatic interior, make sure using several textures and patterns. This way it is avoidable to feel the room boring or depressing.
White with white – but not Scandinavian or vintage
Taupe is a neutral color which is in the middle between brown and dark grey. Both lighter and darker hues are popular in interior design because it provides a natural base and it gives depth to the space. The French word taupe means mole, it was named after the color of the animal.
