How to pick paint colors for a perfect Tuscan decor color palette.

Tuscan colors are a must in today's decorating scheme says artist Linda Paul. We love these colors because they are warm and inviting. Picking that perfect shade of Tuscan red or green can be tricky, but you need to go no farther than mother nature to get it right. What makes this artist an expert on Tuscan colors? American artist Linda Paul uses actual natural earth from Tuscany to create her paint. It was mother nature who created these colors that have been around for thousands of years. The colors come from earth ocher which evolves in sedimentary layers of color that run the gamut of cream, yellow/gold, rusty oranges, orange/reds, brown reds, and deep browns. In the area around Verona  Italy, the earth is actually a sage green color. Luckily with today's technology we can perfectly match these colors for house paint and home decorating

   If you want contemporary Tuscan decor and style,  go for a brighter green mixed with the classic Tuscan colors of gold, rusty orange and deep rusty red as in this original painting and tile mural  called Color Me Italian

Its easy to decorate a room if you start with one piece of color inspiration and build your room and decor colors around it. A more contemporary Tuscan wall paint color is a  pistachio green

You can also add come bright celery green accents to classic tuscan decor. A pop of color is fun and easy.

3. Do you just love blue?





 
 

You can use blue in your Tuscan color palette, as long as it is just the right shade of blue. Linda Paul's painting of a Tuscany Window uses a dark cobalt blue created from lapis lazuli stones. A combination of pale and dark blue is used in this Fields of Tuscany tile mural in a gorgeous Tuscan style kitchen

   I just wanted to say thank you for your fantastic art work.  This was a present for my fiance.  She loves the Italian culture with vibrant colors and nice architecture.  One day we will go there.  She designed our new kitchen with many of the same yellows and oranges in the painting, with some earthtones as well.  You displayed these colors in the setting better than I have ever seen.  I plan to send you a picture of your great painting in its new home very soon.  She was excited and I just wanted to give my thanks.
