This metallic shade is not just for the holidays anymore. Check out these stunning color pairings to decorate with gold year-round.

Colors That Pair With Gold

Gold has many personalities. It can be loud and the center of attention, luxurious and elegant or toned down and quiet. It all depends on scale and what colors you pair with it. Whether you’re looking to make a space splashy and dramatic, rich and warm or subtle and sparkly, here are 10 colors to go with gold that will elevate any room of the home.

Vivid Blue for Drama

The easiest way to decipher what colors go well with gold is to take it back to the first grade and look across the color wheel. Deep ocean blues are the perfect complement to the richness of golden yellows, as shown in this moody kitchen. Vibrant blue walls and trim, painted Hague Blue by Farrow & Ball, create a pleasing backdrop for brass pendants and gold foil glass tiles.

Jade Green for Richness

Yellows and greens sit next to each other on the color wheel, which means they’re analogous. To ensure the two hues don’t clash, pick a gold that leans more orange and a green that leans bluer. The bronze finish on this funky mirror, contrasts well with the jewel-tone green walls.

Black and White for Sophisticated Glam

There’s nothing more classic than the combo of black and white, and with gold mixed in, it’s foolproof. Black and white provide the ultimate stage for gold to shine, like in this ultra-glam kitchen. Just make sure not to overdo it or else you run the risk of your space being too opulent. Stick to gold accents like barstools, hardware or a range hood.

Teal for Serenity

Like deep blues and yellow golds, blues that lean cooler and golds that lean more warm are complements on the color wheel. So, when the designer of this stylish dining room decided to paint the ceiling orangish-gold and the walls turquoise, she knew it would work. The coolness of the walls brings a peaceful vibe to the space, while the chairs, ceiling and chandelier punch it up.

Deep Red and Burgundy for Glam

Gold floor-to-ceiling drapes combined with deep reds and burgundy hues seen in this living space create a simply stunning and glam look. It’s a general good rule of thumb that the combination of jewel tones will elevate any living space.

Navy for a Classic Look

Just like black and white, navy and gold make for a brilliant color combo that never goes out of style. While the gold Roman shades and drapery elevate the design of this living room, the navy armchair acts as a grounding element and wonderfully contrasts with the lighter elements of the space.

Neutrals for a Pop

A room with mostly-neutral furniture, walls and flooring is a great base for incorporating bold pops of gold, without overwhelming a space. Twin golden sofas in this eclectic living room are an immediate eye-catcher and bring big personality to an otherwise quiet interior.

Light Pink for a Touch of Pastel

Light pink and gold may come off as a youthful pairing, but when balanced by a neutral it can feel grown-up. A pink settee with a midcentury brass floor lamp and sleek coffee table brings just the right amount of softness to this moody room. Abstract art above the settee offers a combination of all the colors seen in the room’s design.

Crisp White for Modern Elegance

To add a little extra oomph to an all-white kitchen, mix in subtle accents of gold. The cabinet pulls, faucet, barstools and trim on the range hood create flits of sparkle in this space designed by Alison Victoria. But the real star of the show is the backsplash. The gold-etched marble is a contemporary twist on a timeless element.

Eggplant for Sophistication

Playful yet sophisticated, this living room’s deep purple walls, bold patterns and eclectic vintage furnishings, and pops of gold create a space that is deeply relaxing and inviting. The shade of eggplant provides a gorgeous backdrop for gold hues to take centerstage and move the eye through a space.
