Summer is the easiest season to pull a palette from — just picture a clear afternoon. This scheme starts with a soft Sky Blue as the anchor, the kind of blue that feels like an open window and never tries too hard.
From there, Citrus Yellow brings the sunshine and Pool Aqua brings the water, while a clean Crisp Cream keeps everything light and breathable behind them. Cream is your friend here — it gives your eyes a place to rest so the brights don’t compete.
Then a little Warm Coral does the spark work. Coral is the 2026 way to add warmth without going full orange — soft, a touch dusty, and very current. Use it sparingly, on a chair or a few accents, and the whole room will feel like a good summer day.
