Lime, sage, and hunter are three very attractive colors that are used in a variety of different accents and accessories.

Think about taking a base primary color and working with the softer or darker tones of that color.

I love this look in a beach condo or house. The simple decor in the living room with soft pastel tones. The atmosphere of this living space lends to the overall feel of the outside elements.

Notice how the two rooms adjacent to each other blend with alternating colors. The colors flow from one room to the next.

This living room is another option to create a warm and inviting look. The light hardwood floors set the tone of the room.

I see the hardwoods as the focal point, with the soft light sage tone walls as a great accent. The darker brown curtains brings in a little bolder complimentary color.

The light and darker neutral pillows blend great with the decor on the wall. These colors can be put in a variety of different theme base rooms. The accent table in front of the couch is in a richer wood tone. Great overall blend to a room.

The next three photos display a bright lime tone.

Lime is a hot color and many other colors will blend in well. Live plants in the same tones create a wonderful accessory in any room.

The bedspread or comforter in the second picture makes a vibrant bold statement. The orange and brown tones create a dynamite compliment to the lime green walls.

The two plants on the end tables gives the room the simple look. Great contrast and balance. Artificial or live plants can be used.

The third photo is a neat option for a bathroom. A great idea with the lime tiles and shag style rug. The white pedestal sink compliments the border. The fuchsia color acts as an accessory color. Simple ideas result in a great look.

Neutral colors throughout a room can add warmth. room. The molding and baseboard or woodwork is an off white. Off white will create a cozy feel compared to a stark white.

The second picture is a classic example of hunter tone. The deep color carpet matches the striped wallpaper. The dominant white bedspread with a little hunter shade, gives the room an overall balance. Darker wood furniture works well to blend in with the hunter tone.
