An earthy color palette encompasses various hues, from burnt orange to soothing olive green to velvety midnight blue. Earth-toned hues foster a grounded and relaxing ambiance and are often complimented by a neutral color palette of creamy whites and warm browns. Because this palette is made up of timeless colors, it's the perfect color scheme to canvas throughout your home in large staples from floors to walls to furniture. Earth tone paint colors never go out of style, so feel free to use these hues liberally in your decor.
