Paint maker Beger has launched a line of house paints inspired by the pride flag. The rainbow colors of the flag are a great option for anyone looking to refresh the look of their home cheerfully and vividly. The color scheme that has long been associated with the LGBTQ+ community, has become home décor inspiration, with each color holding a different meaning.
Red
The color of blood, red is associated with life. It is also considered a color of good luck in Thai culture so will make for a welcome addition to any home. In bolder shades, it can make for an excellent choice in creating a focal wall. For those with a more subdued taste, duller shades like crimson can work just as well. It is a warm color that will make any space look cozier and more sophisticated.
Orange
Orange is another color that represents good luck. It gives a warm feeling, much like the sun, and can be used to add cheerfulness to a space. With color choice names like sweet sunrise and orange punch, these shades are likely best applied to youthful areas like kids’ bedrooms and play areas.
Yellow
This color also gives a feeling of bringing the sun inside, making for a warm and cheery atmosphere. Yellow has also been trending for interior décor designs in recent years as a top choice for brightening spaces. As a color reminiscent of sunlight, it adds life and is also associated with the King.
Green
Green is the color of nature as we find it abundantly represented in our trees and grass. Just thinking of standing in the middle of a forest makes us feel calm and refreshed with all the clean air and peace. It is a soothing color that nurtures feelings of harmony and health. It does not tend to work well on its own for interior decor, so consider pairing it with other colors for a more modern feel.
Blue
Blue makes us think of water, especially that of the sea that shimmers in different shades. It gives a feeling of peace and stability. It also feels like you are inviting the sky into your home. It is great for creating a relaxing atmosphere, making it ideal for bedroom spaces.
Purple
Though not widely used, purple is also a lucky color that is best associated with royalty. It has spiritual connotations and adds a feeling of mystery and opulence to a space. If unsure of using it on its own, also pair it with other colors for a striking look.
