Complimentary Colors to Wheat-Colored Walls

Violet

• While creating a color scheme for a room, the color wheel can come in handy since colors that are opposite one another are complementary. Because of wheat's yellow undertones, violet is an attractive option for a room with wheat walls since violet is opposite yellow on the color wheel. It is an attractive option for a bedroom because violet is a cool, soothing color that creates a peaceful feel for the space. You can incorporate violet through the linens or even paint your furniture in violet shades. Wheat walls and violet accents can also work well in a den or home office.

Blue

• Next to violet on the color wheel, blue also matches well with the yellow undertones in wheat. You can add blue accents to a bedroom with wheat walls because the blue tones have a calming effect. However, a wheat-and-blue combination is also an attractive option for a kitchen, particularly if you would like to create a cottage-like look. If you use light blue tones, you can also pair blue with wheat walls in a living room for an elegant but casual look.

Brown

• Because wheat is a neutral color, it pairs well with other neutral shades. Brown is an ideal complementary color for wheat walls because. while it is a neutral tone, it can warm up a room to make it more cozy and inviting. Because wheat is a light tone, you can use dark, rich shades of brown to create a more elegant, sophisticated look for the space. However, you can mix in medium tones of brown as well to give the room's color scheme more depth.

Terra-Cotta

• Terra-cotta is a warm reddish-brown color that creates an attractive pairing with wheat walls. Like brown, it helps make a room feel more inviting, but it is not a neutral shade so it provides a bold pop of color. Terra-cotta accent pieces are an ideal option for a living room or dining room with wheat walls, but you may want to avoid using the combination in a bedroom since colors with red undertones may be too stimulating for a bedroom.
