Parisian Salon

Check these colors together: contrast, harmony, color-blind view →Tap a color to copy its HEX

No two colors here reach 4.5:1 for body text. Set text in white or black instead — each swatch's HEX is drawn in whichever reads better.

The Parisian salon aesthetic is characterized by colors that have aged gracefully: the dusty rose of faded silk, the muted gold of tarnished gilding, the blue-grey of aged Haussmann plaster, and the deep velvet of upholstery that has absorbed decades of cigar smoke and candlelight. The key is that nothing should look new.

A drawing room in the 7th arrondissement. The wallpaper is faded rose, the curtains deeper. Afternoon light through tall windows makes everything look like it has been here for a hundred years. Because it has.
