Emerald Green

Vibrant and rich, these colors will envelop you in tones of turquoise blue, ruby red, or emerald green. These shades bring a worldly charm to the setting.

Tourmaline Green

Three different tones accentuate the paneling; the console is painted to match. The hanging lamp, glass vessels, and sconce's mirror are also in varying shades of green. Even in such abundance, this color is calming.

Ruby Red

In this formal dining room, a black lacquered Chinese screen, an Indian carved-teakwood table, and a pair of modest beige armchairs counterpoint the ruby-red walls. The warm and rich-looking backdrop are perfect for the exotic decorative touches.
