, has a practically therapeutic effect on the body.

In general, it’s good no matter what.
What do delicate green colors usually go with?
Combination of pistachio and blue
This is an unusual combination that evokes thoughts of summer, vacation and the Crimean coast.
Two rather bright colors interact interestingly with each other: the coolness of blue refreshes the warmth of pistachio. However, they can “argue” a little, so it is better to “add” another, more neutral shade to this pair. For example, light colors such as milky, grayish, beige are ideal for this role.

It is worth understanding what shade you need to get in the interior. In any case, certain colors of paint will be required, and the question of how to get a pistachio color will be solved in practice.

Combination of pistachio and yellow
The pistachio shade itself comes from a combination of green and yellow.
, therefore, such an alliance is more than logical and harmonious. In the interior with green and yellow shades, comfort, coziness and warmth reign even in the coldest winter.
However, it is important to understand that if the room’s windows face south, too warm or even hot a combination will make it stuffy.
This psychological effect can prevent you from enjoying a beautiful interior and make you think about buying a fan.
Features and impact on humans
Pistachio color in the interior is one of the few warm undertones of green.
It’s easy to guess that it got its name in honor of the “lucky nuts” - pistachios. Like the color scheme of the nuts themselves, shades of pistachio color vary from light to dark, and can go warmer or cooler. But all these variations still have a common feature: a yellow undertone. After all, to get a natural color, you should mix 5 parts green and 3 parts yellow.
Varieties of shades:
- Light pistachio color. It is obtained by adding 20-30% white color to standard paint. Pale pistachio color is suitable as a background and can be used in decoration and furniture.
- Dark pistachio color. The same 20-30% is added to the main one, but in black color. The deep tone is ideal for accents, textiles, and accessories.
- Gray pistachio color. Too much gray can look dirty, but when combined harmoniously, the result is a pleasant cool undertone.
- Yellow-pistachio. Warm, sunny, pleasant shade. The ratio of ingredients is approximately 5:5. Ideal as a replacement for green in northern rooms.
- Green-pistachio. The latest representative of the palette: the ratio here is not 5:3, but 7-8:3. It is somewhat reminiscent of the color of green tea, perfectly soothing and relaxing.

Orange

Violet
Compositions of violet, lilac and pistachio add uniqueness to the interior. Such a memorable design seems to “breathe” with pleasant coolness and envelops you in a mysterious atmosphere.
Turquoise

Pink
These two colors make it possible to achieve excellent results in interior design. It is best to use pastel colors in furniture and decor.

Such different walls
