Concord Grape- When most people think of Concord grape, they think of wine. I know I do but I love wine. Anyways, Concord grapes are darker grapes that have a smoky, sweet snap to them. This color works well when used with a pale yellow, ivory or creamy white. To use Concord grapes themselves as a decorating piece, place a bunch of grapes in a silver bowl on your dinner table. You have to be cautious when using Concord grape as it is recommended that you don’t use the color or anything that is large such as walls or couch. Because this color is such a dark color, painting it on the walls will make your room look too dark. In your bathroom, try hanging Concord grape towels or in your living room add Concord grape throw pillows to your pale yellow couch.
Mint Green- Mint green is cool and refreshing. Mint green is the color of the month of April because it signifies the beginning of spring. Mint green is a bright, light green.

Mint green inspires mental activity so some people will use this color in the study or dining area where homework and office work is done.
Turquoise- According to some interior designers, turquoise is a color that is often overlooked in decorating because many people think that turquoise is only used in jewelry and won’t look good on their walls or upholstery. But this color can brighten up a corner of a dark room. Turquoise is used a lot in Southwestern design so using turquoise in your own home will bring a Southwestern feel to your home. If you want to add more of a Southwestern feel to your home, try adding other Southwestern colors such as pale peach, salmon and deep green.
