8 Nature-Inspired Paint Colors

 Hidden Trail

Inspired by the property's grassy vastness, this rich tone is neutral yet packs a punch, creating a peaceful and contemporary atmosphere with tremendous inspiration in small spaces.

Rookwood Red

Hodges picked a deep burgundy to embrace the room and honor the house's Tennessee roots. Bright red or pink paint colors may be divisive, but this muted, moodier tint is ageless.

Nature-inspired paint brightened the laundry room, another hardworking room. The deep blue-gray walls remind Hodges of “the sky at dusk.”

Whitetail

To balance out brightly painted interiors, a neutral wall color is perfect. Hodges used this creamy white as a neutral base throughout the entryway, living room, kitchen, and main bedroom.

Winter Walk

The closet off the main bedroom is the only place in the Idea House with this sophisticated color. Some colors in this home reflect summer heat and humid sunsets, but this hue is cooler.

Nocturne

The rich wall color will change depending on the time of day as natural light enters the billiards area and music lounge. This vivid green may match the foliage outside at night.

Greenblack

The double bathroom's stenciled off-black Sherwin-Williams Creamy (SW7012) color. This gives the all-white bathroom a lot of interest and a hint of nature without straying from neutral tones.

Meander

We'll always love greige, but this woodsy shade is especially gorgeous. A lighter variant of Sherwin-Williams' Hidden Trails, Meander is subdued and used on breakfast nook cabinetry and trim.
