Shades of turquoise

Turquoise shades are piercing blue tones with a hint of yellow.

Classic turquoise combination

Turquoise color combination can be seen from different angles. Below are palettes for you with each of the significant colors, but in different shades.

The combination of turquoise and pink can be varied, but it is always positive and summery. It can be paired with gentle, warm shades or coral tones, which is always unforgettably bright and festive. Cold, pure pinks give a more piercing effect that is in no way inferior to warm colors. The main thing is that the tones are pure, how pure turquoise is. For example, consider pairs with cloudy pink, coral pink, ultra pink, fuchsia, raspberry. nine0003

Turquoise and red combine in a bright, poignant pair. And the lighter the shade of red, the softer the composition looks, since darker tones also give light contrast, and this enhances the composition. Red shades can be either with an orange undertone or pink. A table has been compiled for you with scarlet, light red, coral red, ruby, red earth.

Turquoise pairs with orange as a complementary pair. This is the highest variant of the thermal combination and the most effective, so you should take more muted shades of orange. Light colors will look good in a pair, as they will not be joined by amplifying light resonance. For example, combinations with light peach, manga, coral orange, tangerine, red-orange. nine0003

Any glitter and gold will look very good. Consider combinations with sunny yellow, corn, saffron, amber, yellow gold, bright gold.

Turquoise with warm green - the combination is juicy, light and relaxing. There is a slight thermal contrast in it, which is only slightly invigorating, but generally has a calming effect. For such a pair, it is worth choosing juicy tones of fresh greens, it is necessary to abandon olive, khaki and dark green. The compiled palette includes pistachio, chartreuse, light green, greens, dense greens. nine0003

The color combination of turquoise and cool green is a sister marine palette, light, unobtrusive. It is more likely to be good as a background, but if darker emerald tones are used, then thermal contrast comes into force. For example, combinations with menthol, emerald green, patina, emerald, malachite.

How to combine turquoise with light blue and blue? This is a related palette, more like a gradient, but the blue is very different: pale blue or dark blue. For the combination, you will need clean and bright colors, for example, aquamarine, bright blue, electric blue, violet-blue, sapphire. In this case, the color scheme will continue the sonorous and clean line of turquoise. nine0003

Turquoise with purple - a combination of colors is lush, subtle, elegant. On the one hand, these are related tones, united by blue in their composition, and on the other hand, a slight thermal contrast is created between them, which radically changes the relationship of colors. Consider the piquancy of this combination with blue-violet, amethyst, purple, grape, plum.

Turquoise and brown combine is sophisticated and vintage, like a turquoise stone in a leather setting - expensive and with an ethnic twist. In this pair, there is additional contrast, since brown is built from orange, but it is not bright, and most of it is dark, so it is better to choose lighter tones in a pair if you want to achieve color rather than light contrast. The table consists of cinnamon, tan, bronze, red-brown, mahogany. nine0003

A combination of turquoise with white, beige, gray and black - neutral colors - discreet, but each shade will add its own mood. White - the freshness of a warm sea breeze; beige - sophistication, gray calm and strict motive; black - piercing chic. For example, a combination with creamy, light beige, lead, anthracite, dark gray.

Psychology of turquoise

Impact on well-being

Turquoise is called a healing color for its ability to balance the state of mind. It has two main shades - rich, aquamarine, and delicate, pastel, light turquoise. Both are pleasing to the eye and create a peaceful atmosphere.

Turquoise is considered the "stone of the wise" because it brings calmness and puts thoughts in order. You can wear jewelry with turquoise, or you can add turquoise accessories to the interior - the effect will certainly be no worse.

It's all about the composition of the color - it contains a cold blue (or cyan) and a warm yellow. Blue and yellow contrast, and their combination gives an unusual effect. When we look at turquoise coatings, there is a feeling of air, humidity, and at the same time warmth. nine0003 A room in restrained dark tones can seem a little dull, but even one element of turquoise hue gives it energy. Apartment in the residential complex Wine House, designer Olga Chernenko

Elena Teplitskaya : “Turquoise is a very lively, natural shade, it makes a person feel relaxed, joyful, associated with clean water, summer. This is a good solution, for example, for a children's room or for a room in which there is a sick person. In a room where there are turquoise accessories and aqua-colored objects, it is easy to breathe.” nine0003

In such an office, you can not only reflect on the fate of the world, but also engage in creativity - the atmosphere is conducive. Project and photo — Elena Akimova

Elena Teplitskaya : “Solid, restrained, balanced people often like turquoise-gray shades - soft, but deep, they give a feeling of harmony. Active, mobile, unbalanced people, representatives of the choleric temperament usually like rich shades of turquoise - bright, rich, optimistic. nine0003

Influence on the perception of the room

Turquoise, especially deep, pushes the boundaries, gives volume, a sense of "corridor". With the help of this color, you can interestingly beat small rooms, visually expand them.

Turquoise color in the nursery is a universal solution. It can be diluted with white, mustard, yellow. This palette is suitable for both boys and girls. The project of an apartment in the residential complex "Heritage", designer Maria Borovskaya nine0304

Elena Teplitskaya : “In the design of small rooms, you can use different textures, this allows you to create additional volume. Especially if there is a matte turquoise, which will push the boundaries, and turquoise with shine. In order not to overload the perception, you can make, for example, three glossy turquoise walls and one matte.

Rules for combining with other colors

Turquoise looks good in both related and contrasting color combinations. In the first case, when decorating the room, close tones are used - for example, shades of blue-green, from light to very saturated. In the second - colors that are opposite in spectrum. nine0003 Muted turquoise and brown are the perfect range for decorating a relaxation area. These shades look contrasting, but do not tire the eyes. The interior of the apartment on the street. Glukharskoy, 15, designer Evgeny Zhdanov

Turquoise is a demanding color that needs certain shades as companions.

Red - primarily a reddish brown, terracotta shade - in the company of turquoise creates a beautiful, energetic contrast. Another pairing option for turquoise is a bright coral, or "Russian red", with a warm undertone, a red that has a dash of yellow in it. nine0003 Berry red and deep turquoise colors in the interior of the bedroom are a non-trivial, emotionally rich combination.

Elena Teplitskaya : “In sunny rooms, it is better to use a deep dark turquoise color and textured, rough, matte surfaces - such combinations “cool” the space. In north-facing rooms, the task is the opposite: to add warmth, you need to choose shades of turquoise, in which there is more yellow, and actively use bright contrasting combinations.

Black - turquoise doesn't really like to coexist with this color, black in this combination often looks like a frame, a kind of contour frame. This is an unwanted couple in the interior. The way out is to soften the dark shade. Let it be gray, not black.

Blue - actively using blue and turquoise in the interior, you can create an imbalance, because these colors counteract, drown out each other. nine0003 It is possible to combine turquoise with blue, but this must be done delicately so that they do not “fight” among themselves. Small details of deep blue in a light turquoise bath look appropriate, but the main “stopper” for the look here is the gold decor.

Light turquoise is good in light design materials - translucent lampshades, chiffon on the window, vases, dishes. Stained glass and glossy ceramics are two materials that are particularly fond of turquoise.

A minimalist interior in light colors requires the presence of some bright detail. Sometimes just one beautiful turquoise vase is enough - it looks very impressive against a pure white background. Project and photo — Elina Musakulova nine0304

Elena Teplitskaya: “If the room is very sunny, using turquoise for windows is the right decision. Light, passing through translucent textiles, acquires a new shade, cooler - the shade of early morning. Turquoise cools the space, and in such a room it is comfortable to be in the heat. You can emphasize the feeling of freshness using colored glass - for example, if you put several bright turquoise vases on the windowsill.

Elena Teplitskaya : “In an ethnic interior, a combination of turquoise with reddish-brown is especially appropriate - the color of skin, unbaked clay, sand. The combination of the color of the sea wave with purple looks interesting - both related and contrasting at the same time.

Neoclassic

Classics and neoclassics are the right proportions, natural materials, expressive accents in the "historical" spirit and a respectable palette.
