“Warm colors are said to advance or appear more active in a painting, while cool colors tend to recede; used in interior design or fashion, warm colors are said to arouse or stimulate the viewer, while cool colors calm and relax. “
Home Stagers have a lot of experience working with neutral tones: such as tan. When talking about tradition interior design using warm and cool color pairings, this neutral tone needs special consideration.
Tan is aunique color, it combines the warm tones of brown with the cool tones of white. Because of this it can read as either cool or warm depending on the accent colors used with it. Since tan is also a neutral tone (and us stagers love our neutrals), it is important to anchor it to a strong accent color. In the case of a recent staging I did on 5930 SE Lafayette St, Portland OR,I used blue (which is one of my favorite colors to pair with this tone tan)as the secondary color in the staging.
