Choosing a wall paint color can always be a bit of a challenge. Â Not only is there every color of the rainbow to choose from but there are also a wide range of shades and tones available. Â It can leave you staring blankly at a sea of swatches for hours!
However, the choices can be narrowed down quite a bit. Â If you are going for a rustic theme, for example, there are certain colors that will complement the style better than others. Â It definitely helps to see pictures of decorated rooms for inspiration!
The following rustic paint colors are just a few examples of colors that do well to warm up a room and enhance most rustic decor.
Warm shades of red are great to use in rustic decorating. Â It is a nice contrast to use against light wood, antlers and other rustic decor. Â The red on these walls is Pottery Red by Benjamin Moore. Â We wanted to go with a darker wall color to contrast the lighter basement cabinets which were a hickory.

Another great color is anything in a shade of gold. Â This rustic kitchen looks so warm and inviting, even with the cool concrete counters, with the walls being a warm shade of gold.

I love a dark taupe-y gray to especially highlight lighter accessories like these white antlers. Â They really pop against the warm dark paint color.

A fun orange can also work in a rustic setting. Â This industrial sink is perfectly highlighted with an orange back drop.

This light shade of blue wall paint complements the look of the weathered wood beams. Â I had also painted a shade of blue gray in my son’s rustic industrial bedroom which enhanced the light wood and metal decor.
