Colors That Pop – Pick These 5 Colors to Excite

Tuesday, October 3rd, 2017

Featured furniture: The Willa Dining Table Base from the Fusion Collection: The pops of color in this room include the plates, the vase of flowers, and the cushioned dining chair.

Having an instant pizzazz in a space is a must especially when you have a mainly neutral-colored room.  While neutral hues are the safest way to dress up your home, they could become bland-looking. So, add a blush of pink somewhere or a pop of green or blue.

Electric Blue

This exciting shade of blue used to be a color that was used to depict strong emotions in the ‘80s. Back then, it means super awesome or bad ass. While the definition of this color can be varying, it is most often considered to be a relative of cyan.

Cyan is represented as the very color of lightning. So you can say, electric sparks or electrical discharges, even the ionized air glows happening during those electrical discharges could all mean electric blue.

The first time that electric blue was referred to as a color was in 1845. The 1890s Vogue even featured this electrifying color.

There are also different shades of electric blue. French electric blue, for instance, is most popular in, you guessed right – France.

Iridescent electric blue is metaphoric. Medium electric blue is the kind of electric blue that was used in Vogue in the 19th century. Dark electric blue, on the other hand, is that dark cyan color.

Gold

If you crave a home that is elegant and timeless, then there is no easier way to do it than to add pops of gold. All-year-round, you will welcome guests that would be awed by your glitzy and glamorous home.

Gold accents are the in thing at the moment. They are classy yet trendy. They are from yesterday but also in the now.

Gold chandeliers, when infused in any room, exude elegance. Pick one that is not heavy on any other metal but one that has gold accents with lots of crystals.

Gold can also be used on wall paint, furnishings, and fabrics.

Chartreuse

This may be a pale green color but it is a lot more than a simple color. First, it can actually be used to describe a particularly good meal or a lovely woman.

Historically, chartreuse is French liqueur by Carthusian Monks. This was composed of distilled alcohol with 130 flowers, plants, and herbs.

If you’re looking to paint an accent wall, then this is the color to make heads turn. This colors can both be electric and earthy. It can blend well with oranges, reds, and blues. It is especially wonderful with cobalt or turquoise.

A chartreuse door? Or a chartreuse patterned wallpaper? How about a chartreuse ceiling?

You are sure to add an outdoorsy, mossy feeling to the kitchen if you decide to have a chartreuse floor.

Amber

This color is a hundred-percent Chroma color, meaning, it is situated between two colors, in this case, orange and gold. This hue can also refer to a wide arrange of yellow to orange colors.

There are five sub-hues of amber, with 250 varying shades recognized and seven chief colors – exciting isn’t it?

The most common type is yellow amber. This looks brownish. You can also choose from green amber, red amber, blue amber, and black amber.

Make your kitchen, bathroom or bedroom more exciting yet grounded with this lovely color.

Crimson

This is a deep red shade that is almost purple. This is why it is used to describe a woman who blushed crimson with embarrassment.

Crimson is a majestic, strong color. This used to be a dye produced from the Kermes vermilio. Only the wealthiest people, back in the day, were able to use this color on their garments. This is now a shade that refers to glaring red with a blue tinge.

Crimson is an aggressive color. It is passionate, vibrant, and even deviant. If you don’t want to create a disturbing atmosphere, then learn to subdue it or use it as an accent hue (e.g. crimson chandelier, crimson carpet, or a crimson sofa.
