Colors That Pair Well With Turquoise

Three color elements make up the color turquoise. Although turquoise lies between green and blue on the color spectrum, there is a dash of a third color in the mix. This color is yellow. Blue brings tranquillity to turquoise, green gives turquoise a crisp feel of new growth, and yellow is turquoise’s energy and fun element. So, turquoise is a cheerful, friendly, but also calm color.

Adding turquoise to your décor will give moody and dull spaces a beautiful lift of color and leave a calm but vibrant ambiance. Below are a few gorgeous colors that look stunning when paired with turquoise.

Pairing Turquoise With Neutral Colors

Neutral colors allow turquoise’s bright and vibrant color to take center stage. Below are neutral colors that go well with turquoise.

Navy

Classical navy adds sophistication to any space in your home. But it can sometimes feel a bit dark or too traditional. Adding turquoise to navy will lift the mood and brighten up a room.

Brown

The earthy richness of brown gives the room an invitingly warm feel. Adding a turquoise touch will help lift the heaviness of brown and bring freshness to the area.

The Opposite Color Of Turquoise

Orange is the opposite of turquoise and is a fresh, bold, and fun color. Although turquoise and orange are both vibrant and energetic colors, they look good together. You can tone down this combination by using a lighter shade of turquoise, and instead of orange, use tangerine or coral. To balance these two lovely colors, use a neutral color like beige or white.

Tangerine

This softer shade of orange carries orange’s energy and fun color but in a less splashy way. Pairing this more delicate shade with turquoise will still bring vibrancy into the room.

Pairing Turquoise With Complimentary Colors

You can choose to use turquoise as the primary color of the room or as an accent color whenever you need to brighten or liven up a space. Below are some ideas on how to pair turquoise with complementary colors.

Pink

Pink is a warm color that brings a touch of elegance and softness to a color palette. If you are using bright turquoise, use a soft pink shade. Or you could use a vivid pink but tone down the color combination by using a paler shade of turquoise. 

Using a vibrant pink and pairing it with a soft shade of turquoise with the balance of white is a beautiful color combination for a bedroom. The cool turquoise and pure white colors are a perfect background for the vivid and playful pink. The light shining through the window accentuates these lovely colors and creates a warm and welcoming feel to this room.

Yellow

Because turquoise carries some yellow in its hue, both these colors will bring a vibrant energy to a room. When pairing yellow and turquoise, tone down one of the colors using a paler shade. Or balance the room with a neutral color like navy blue and add turquoise and yellow as accent colors.
