If you want contemporary Tuscan decor and style, go for a brighter green mixed with the classic Tuscan colors of gold, rusty orange and deep rusty red as in this original painting and tile mural Color Me Italian
Its easy to decorate a room if you start with one piece of color inspiration and build your room and decor colors around it. A more contemporary Tuscan wall paint color is a pistachio green
Tuscan Colors are a must in today's decorating scheme says artist Linda Paul. We love these colors because they are warm and inviting. Picking that perfect shade of Tuscan red or green can be tricky, but you need to go no farther than mother nature to get it right. What makes this artist an expert on Tuscan colors? American artist Linda Paul uses actual natural earth from Tuscany to create her paint. It was mother nature who created these colors that have been around for thousands of years. The colors come from earth ocher which evolves in sedimentary layers of color that run the gamut of cream, yellow/gold, rusty oranges, orange/reds, brown reds, and deep browns. In the area around Verona Italy, the earth is actually a sage green color. Luckily with today's technology we can perfectly match these colors for house paint and home decorating
