The Best Color to Paint Your Home Based on Your Zodiac Sign

Dramatize an oh-so-cool modern exterior with a fiery, deep red opening statement. “As an Aries, I can attest — we are bursting with energy, and we want everyone around us to know it from the start," says Kristen Kristen, certified color consultant at Paintzen. “Painting your front door in a bold color prepares people for the excitement that is to come once they are inside your home.” Offset that exclamation point with a bit of architectural greenery.

For Venus-ruled, feminine Earth sign Taurus, “a dusty pink is perfect; it can be used as a versatile, practical neutral, or can be dressed up to feel more stylish,” Kristen explains. “Try it in a powder room with mixed metals or glossy white tile.” Want to pull in additional shades? The HGTV Home by Sherwin-Williams 2020 Color Collection choreographs 10 complementary hues: Romance (a calming blush) partners beautifully with other warm neutrals and deeper tones like Coral Reef, similar to the eye-catching shade in this space.

“We love a warm, versatile yellow for Geminis, due to its cheerfulness and adaptability,” Kristen says. Create a rise-and-shine dining nook with a sunny yellow like this one, and don’t be shy about doubling down with furniture and tabletop accents as designer Brian Patrick Flynn did; more is more when it comes to exuberant hues, particularly in smaller spaces.

Go back to basics with a congenial classic and splash your walls with an icy white. Kristen suggests drawing inspiration from Cancer's celebrated sensitivity: “PPG’s Aria is about as gentle and understanding as colors come; it can adapt to warm and cool colors and, like Cancers, play well in a space no matter what its surroundings. If you need a color to be your ‘best friend’, Aria is a great choice.”
