Paint the Rainbow

Repainting a room is the easiest way to give your space a fresh facelift. But when choosing paint colors, it's important to keep mood in mind. While bright red or neon green may be fun, they can subconsciously create stress in the body. Below are five peaceful paint colors to up the ahhh factor of your favorite spaces.

Violet. A dusty purple can promote balance and inner peace. Make sure to pick a shade with more blue tones and less black for a relaxing vibe.

Green. While a neon green can be alarming, a less bright shade (think forest or grass) can be calming and refreshing.

Gray. While some may think gray is dull, it actually has been shown to be a soothing, stress-free color. Plus, it goes with nearly any accent hue, so you can get creative with accompanying colors.

Blue. Choose a gentle ocean blue in the bedroom for a restful night's sleep. Known to reduce tension, opt for a lighter shade when choosing your blue.

Yellow. A rich, buttery yellow can brighten your spirits. Perfect for bathrooms and kitchens, paint your whole space or a singular accent wall and soak up that sunny disposition.
