» Blue » Blue-green color and its combination
Blue-green is one of the most interesting tones of blue. Combinations with it are juicy and intricate, they will look impressive in clothing and interior design.
A mixture of blue (as the color of reason, deep spirituality) with green (the color of pragmatism, well-fed stability) in total gives self-confidence. A sense of significance, purposefulness, and awareness are associated with it. It is more often preferred by men, but if they are women, then they are characterized by “treachery.” Tone has a strong influence on the psyche, which is why psychotherapists make full use of it. This is due to widespread self-doubt, and, sometimes, the inability of people to 100% believe in their decisions and move towards their goal without hesitation. Therefore, this shade is also chosen by people who want to manage their emotions. They want to be accepted by others and receive support in everything. Oddly enough, blue-green really helps them for these purposes, since those around him already see in him what he wants to become. In adolescents, he switches attention from hormonal changes to awareness of himself as an individual. It influences focus, ambition, and develops a vision of oneself in society. Blue-green gives impetus to the development of a strong personality.

Complex combination of blue-green color
Blue-green is a rewarding shade to pair with. It's dark enough to create rich contrast, bright enough to make combinations pop, and calm enough to support brighter hues.
For example, you can create an attractive, bright autumn combination of orange and yellow.
- with orange color (2) - a chic combination based on thermal contrast. If blue-green can be classified as calming (cold) tones, then orange is an active color. In this combination, each of the shades is emphasized by its neighbor, but they do not interrupt each other, they have a strong partnership.
- with light yellow color (3) - provides contrast in saturation. Light yellow in such a neighborhood becomes cold. Together they are not equal: there must be more of some color so that accents can be placed on the second.
The combination is complemented by light blue-green, gray-blue and umber.
Green + “Very Peri”
The Pantone Color Institute bypassed the green trend and chose “Very Peri” as its main color for 2022, inspired by the vibrant flowers of the evergreen periwinkle shrub.

Interior items
Sofa
A bright sofa in blue tones can become the highlight of the interior of any room in the apartment.
When placing a sofa indoors, it is important to remember that the blue tone should not prevail in the decoration of the room.
If this rule is not followed, then space can have a depressing effect on a person.
Designers recommend placing a blue sofa in a place where a large amount of natural light penetrates.
The interior of the room should be decorated in monochrome colors. In dark, dimly lit rooms, furniture in rich colors will look gloomy.
Curtains
Beautiful curtains in blue tones help create an atmosphere of calm, harmony and tranquility.
Curtains can become the only bright detail in the interior of a room.
They go well with light-colored wallpaper.
An unusual combination can be achieved if you choose curtains with blue patterns and textiles, the color of which resembles the tone of the pattern.
Wallpaper
Wallpaper in dark blue tones is not recommended for use in small rooms. The abundance of blue can visually reduce space. For spacious rooms, wallpaper with unusual floral patterns in all shades of blue is suitable.
Plain wallpaper should be chosen for small living rooms and bedrooms.
A beautiful blue color can decorate any interior style. When choosing it to decorate your premises, you can rest assured that your decision is correct.
Combination of blue-green with other colors
Blue-green goes with many colors, but we need to talk about shades in more detail. As a cool tone, the shade reveals itself better with warm colors. Since the tone is in the middle light palette, the light contrast will be secondary for it. When combining, it is worth using colors in the same saturation spectrum to achieve harmony.
Blue-green combines with pink to create a light, pleasant or bright pair. Several options for combining with this shade: with a medium delicate pink, with a rich warm one, with a bright cold one, with a dark one. All options will be colorful, each of them will express the opposition between cold and warm. The composition is composed of pink-peach, coral pink, fuchsia, raspberry, lingonberry.
The combination of blue-green and red is associated with additional contrast, but is not 100% it. The combination is spectacular, somewhat harsh, but it is a worthy replacement for the green-red pair. Both light and dark tones of red can be combined, for example, light red, Chinese red, cherry, wine, dark burgundy.
How to combine blue-green and orange, if the red-orange pair and the described tone are complementary (that is, when mixing light rays of a given spectrum, we get a gray color)? The more subdued the red-orange, the more pleasant the combination. The best shades will be peach and coral. The palette includes peach, coral-orange, orange, red-orange, and red tones.
The combination of colors: blue-green and yellow is a juicy pair, the contrast of which is based on a cold-warm resonance. The warmer the tone of yellow, which means it has an admixture of yellow, the more pleasant the composition. Gold and golden tones will give the base tone a luxurious look. This table of combinations includes: champagne, corn, mustard, yellow gold, old gold.
Blue-green combines with warm green - creating the rich chiaroscuro of a magical forest or the glow of a jewel in the sun. A very pleasant, effective combination of colors, where in the aisles of the same color there are cold and warm tones. For example, a combination with pistachio, chartreuse, light green, moss green, brown-green.
The combination of blue-green and cold green is a palette in the same range, with precepts and shadows. With such tones you can create spectacular light contrast, volume, depth, but all this will be within the cold range of the main color. For example, we have put together a composition from the colors of green water, menthol, mint, emerald green, and malachite.
Blue-green and blue: the combination of colors, like the leading one , is related and is in the same range as the one being described. But if in that case the overall palette went green, then this one went blue, the difference between the main tone and dark or blue is more noticeable than with cold green. In this case, the warm-cold contrast appears again, but our shade becomes warm. The color scheme includes aquamarine, sky blue, electric blue, Prussian blue, and thunderous.
How to combine blue-green and purple? A pair of such shades comes out calm, detached and even mysterious. Spectral shades of violet can be called the coldest, but they are often mixed with purple, which is not such. There is red in purple, which makes it warmer than the main tone, thus the combination is based on a slight thermal difference. For example, a combination with blue-violet, amethyst, purple, red-violet, eggplant.
Blue-green is combined with brown, creating the feeling of a fairy tale: something close and so unique that its reality is in great doubt. However, in art, clothing, interior design and even nature, these two tones of very frequencies go hand in hand, complementing and multiplying each other. For you, a palette of cocoa with milk, yellow-brown, bronze, coffee bean color, chocolate.
The color combination: blue-green and white, gray, beige, black is classic, understandable, but it also has its own nuances. The combination with white is straightforward, but can be softened with softer shades, such as cream. Gray is one of the most successful neutral companions; it retains the structure of the image. Beige enhances the elegance of the shade and introduces smoothness. Black gives an evening character to the composition, as well as luxury and style. The composition includes creamy, light gray, dark beige, anthracite, black and gray.
Alliance of green and white
The union of these two colors creates a strict style in the interior. The combination of green and white creates the effect of complete sterility and purity. You can add liveliness to the interior using yellow, brown or pink, as well as adding a little blue tones. Such a union of colors in the design of residential premises seems to tell us about the nobility of the family living here.
