Color Combinations Inspired By Fruits

Use Inspired fruit colors when choosing:

Paint colors for interiors Wall colors and curtains Fabric combinations Home accessories like throws and pillows Color combinations for bedding Website colors Social media posts

Personally, when designing either interiors or graphics, I always have three colors. I use one color as the majority color. As an example, I would pick one paint color for my walls; I would use it up to 80% of the entire design. The remaining 15% is for my chosen secondary color; I would use that for my fabrics like curtains, bedding, or upholstery. The remaining 5% I use as an accent color like throw pillows, accessories, paintings, and so on; that usually gives me a good enough ratio to carry my design or color choices across. It does not matter if you choose the lighter or darker color as the base; that would depend on the mood and look you are going for. It does simplify my method as I can target the areas I want to paint with particular colors or buy furniture with a specific color fabric and so on. This method might differ from one designer to the next, but for me, it has proven to be quite useful.

Banana-Inspired Color Combination

The colors of a banana is an instant mood lifter. Whenever I see a banana I think of the tropics. Maybe a warm and breezy day looking at rows of banana trees, driving along a rural road. The banana has several colors that really go well together when translated into paint. This color combination is very earthy, combining yellows, buff, green, and reds/browns. These colors are very soothing. You can use these colors with my method of 80% base, 15 % a secondary color, and 5% accent color.

Guava-Inspired Color Combination

The guava is an exotic and attractive tropical fruit. Its colors are rich, and the combination is gorgeous. It has lots of shades of red, pink, maroon combined with green and yellow. It is trendy among young girls. A lot of Instagram posts are saturated with guava colors, and there is a good reason for it since this color is very youthful and fun.

The melon color combination is a bit more subdued. It has a very earthy and easy-going feel. When translated into interior paint, the peachy melon color will work well with the 80% coverage—the greens as the secondary and accent colors.

This is the Rose or Wax Apple. It is a sweet, bell-shaped, delicious fruit with a cottony center and seed/s in its core.
