Indigo + White Pair indigo with white for a fresh, sophisticated yet beachy look reminiscent of The Hamptons. Add a splash of the ocean to a crisp white scheme with indigo accents, such as scatter cushions, a throw, a rug, or stripy furnishings. After all, nothing says nautical better than a blue and white stripe! Complete the coastal cliché with some white shiplap to add dimension and texture to the room. Indigo + Pale Gray Add depth and interest to a pale gray scheme with indigo accents. The vibrant blue shade pops against the neutral backdrop, creating gentle movement. Look at this indigo accent sofa for evidence. The soothing properties of the shade go hand in hand with a cozy couch to kick back on at the end of the day. If you're not ready for a new sofa and indigo walls feel like a giant leap, start introducing indigo accents with decorative accessories, like lamps, vases, or artwork instead. Indigo + Yellow Indigo and bright yellow are a head-turning couple. Yellow is an uplifting, energetic, and sprightly color that challenges indigo's calm, contemplative nature. The high-contrast saturated palette plays to the Pop Art tune, establishing a bold modern aesthetic. A bright yellow accent chair looks striking against a rich indigo backdrop. Play up the scheme with a bright cherry red, or tone it down with soft grays. Alternatively, a pale lemon yellow provides a smart, paired-back alternative suited to a more classic decor. Indigo + Forest Green Indigo and forest green are profound and serene. The dark shades are dramatic yet cohesive, perfect for a cocooning, tranquil oasis. Analogous colors like these are naturally harmonious, though the undertones must match for them to work well; forest green has blue notes and a cool undertone, like indigo. The alluring palette is effortlessly elegant and deeply soothing and encourages a calm, meditative state, perfect for a bedroom. Lift a dark scheme with texture - see how these wall panels and velvet cushions catch the light. Indigo + Gold Adorn a tonal indigo scheme with shimmering golden accents . In this living room, warm gold decor creates a striking contrast against the cool indigo tones. The blue-violet shade recedes, and the light bounces off the reflective surface, drawing our attention to the beauty of the materials. Don't limit metallic accents to the actual metals; introduce golden tones through textiles, wallpaper, artwork, or églomisé glass. Mix different metallic finishes, like polished and hammered or antiqued, for an eclectic look. Indigo + Wood Complement an indigo-dominated scheme with the natural warmth of wood. The grain contributes a natural layer of texture, depth, and complexity to a scheme. Find a wood tone that equals the intensity of the indigo shade to make a subtle statement. In this living room, dark wood furniture and flooring match the depths of the indigo shade, lending a smart, sophisticated, masculine look with a calming and grounding effect. Indigo + Dusty Pink Like yin and yang, dusty pink and indigo represent a dynamic balance of opposing yet complementary qualities; light and dark, unsaturated and saturated, feminine and masculine, casual and elegant, youthful and mature, whimsical and sophisticated… you get the gist! Consequently, the contemporary color palette is exceptionally versatile. Ensure a harmonious look by selecting a shade of dusty pink with a cool blue undertone to match the indigo hue. Indigo + Black Black and indigo will turn you to the dark side - if you're not there already! Black is an intense shade that lends a sense of drama, luxury, and grandeur to a space. Paired with indigo, the dark shades evoke a cozy, comforting, and cocooning feel that is ideal for a bedroom, as demonstrated by this space-themed scheme. Bring warmth to the cool shades by layering soft textures and introducing warm metallic accents that shine like stars in the night sky. Indigo + Rust Imbue an earthy warmth to an indigo palette with rust. The reddish-orangey-brown hue offers a rich neutral with complementary shades that counterbalance the cool blue hue. This mostly indigo-colored bedroom is punctuated with rust accents - namely the scatter cushion and throw - that match the tone of the wooden furniture for a cohesive feel. Also, note how the tonal wallpaper pattern contributes a subtle yet effective layer of texture and depth. Indigo + Taupe Turn down the drama of indigo by pairing it with a calming neutral, like taupe. The gray-brown shade offers a simple, versatile foundation that lends timeless elegance to either classic or contemporary decor. As its complementary color, indigo makes the perfect partner for a chic, understated scheme that is both sophisticated and comforting in its simplicity. Use indigo to accent a light taupe backdrop, applying the 60-30-10 rule to achieve the perfect color balance.
