Colors That Complement Persimmon Walls

Green and Brown

• Mixing shades of green and brown with a persimmon wall color creates a tropical color palette that will have you craving the ocean breeze. Green and persimmon are both very bold colors, while brown is soothing and neutral, so highlight one bold color and use the other bold color as an accent. The ideal accent spot would be the trim along the room's border known as the crown and floor molding. Light shades of green, such as lime or avocado, work well to break up the persimmon. Simply use the lighter shades to create stripes or other patterns along the wall.

Yellow and Red

• Yellow serves to tame the bright hue of persimmon while red excites it. Combining shades of yellow or red with persimmon creates a room reflective of the sun and offers a warm and welcoming atmosphere for guests. Yellow and red are both very versatile colors that can be incorporated into the room through bed sheets or used to add decorative elements to the wall. They are so versatile that one wall could be painted persimmon and the other painted yellow, for instance, and they would still complement each other.

White

• White is a very neutral color that can either enhance a muted color or soften bright, bold colors. Because it is such a safe hue, white can be incorporated into almost any element of the room to create different effects. For instance, if you want light and airy, using sheer white fabric for the curtains would achieve this. If you want vintage, stained white furniture also works well with the persimmon walls.

Black

• Black is white's polar opposite but still works as a surprisingly neutral color. Adding a splash of black to any room dominant in one color will help to not only break up the color but to also make a dramatic statement. Black decorative patterns could be painted directly onto one wall with the help of stencils, and black furniture with persimmon-colored linens help to achieve a dramatic look. Black could also be used to paint a border around art work hanging along the walls to add a decorative touch without punching holes into the wall.
