Peacock Blue & Coral Color Scheme

A deep jewel-toned blue paired with a warm coral pop and soft ivory, for a vibrant, confident look that still feels grounded. Every shade is matched to real paint you can buy.

By Mark Thompson · Pro Contractor & Field Editor

Start with Peacock Blue, a deep teal-leaning blue that feels like a jewel. It sets a mood that is calm and confident at the same time, the kind of color that makes a space feel finished the moment it goes up. Because it sits between blue and green, it plays well with warm tones instead of fighting them, which is exactly why this combination works.

Then comes Living Coral, a warm, sunny pop that wakes the blue right up and keeps the room from feeling too serious. Warm Ivory softens the gap between the two, giving your eye a place to rest and keeping the trim light and fresh. Lean on the peacock blue for your main surfaces, save the coral for small moments like a chair, art, or a few accents, and let the ivory carry the trim. It can flow across a living room, a bedroom, a kitchen, or your whole home without ever feeling like too much.

Questions

what colors go with peacock blue?

Warm tones are its best friends. A coral or terracotta accent makes the blue feel richer, and a soft ivory or cream keeps the whole thing from getting heavy. Brass and natural wood look great with it too.

is peacock blue and coral too bold for a whole home?

It does not have to be. Use the peacock blue as your main color, keep the coral to small doses like a chair or a few cushions, and let the ivory trim breathe. That balance reads bold but still livable.

what undertones should I watch for?

Peacock blue leans slightly green, so pair it with a coral that has real warmth rather than a pink-leaning one. Stick with a creamy, golden ivory for the trim so nothing turns cold.
