For home interior, less official options are preferred: yellow, coffee, pink, apricot and so on. The combination of colors cannot be fully attributed to the case of taste. Designers know that combinations can give an excellent effect, kickers should harmoniously emphasize each other; But incorrectly selected shades can, on the contrary, suppress each other or cause a feeling of dissonance.
