Undertone & Lighting

Bold colors make strong statements. Purple, deep red, emerald — each carries distinct emotional weight. Use as accents or full walls.

Bold colors need good lighting to show their true hue. Insufficient light makes bold colors look flat and muddy.

Deep Ocean in a Dining Room: What to Know

  • Dining rooms are often used in evening lighting
  • Deeper, richer colors create an intimate dining atmosphere
  • Color should flatter skin tones — warm tones make everyone look better by candlelight
  • Consider the color of your dining set and table linens

Which Walls to Paint

The dining room is one of the few rooms where dark, bold wall colors consistently work. Navy, deep green, or rich plum creates a dramatic setting for meals.

Accent Wall Ideas

A rich accent color on the wall behind a buffet or hutch creates a gallery-like display backdrop. Chair rail molding with a darker color below and lighter above is a classic dining room treatment.
