Big Chill Appliances in Rich Jewel Tones

January 15, 2021 by Big Chill

Jewel tone colors are richly saturated hues named for gems including sapphire blue, ruby red, amethyst purple, and emerald green. Jewel tone palettes are often a contrast of intense colors, beaming brightly against the stark backdrop of winter or sparking the perfect color storm for any season.

When decorating with jewel tones in your kitchen, it’s important to decide on a base color to help ground the space. Consider finishes and tones within the space to help guide your use of jewel tone colors. If you’re going for a warmer palette, try incorporating more reds and warm purples, along with gold or brass finishes. For a cooler palette, opt for sapphire blues or emerald greens, with silver finishes for contrast.

In your kitchen, these rich jewel tones will add instant depth and sophistication. Use these four shades on kitchen cabinets, walls, appliances, and accessories to turn your kitchen into an instant gem.
