When it comes to choosing a carpet color, you have endless freedom. Thanks to modern dye methods, today’s carpets are available in any hue or pattern you could imagine -- in tones that range from eye-poppingly vivid to soothing pastel. While there’s no “right” or “wrong” way to use color, one of the best methods is to coordinate with your furniture or other rooms of your home, or to opt for a neutral shade (such as pale grey, beige, or tan) that can go with anything -- even if you change your decor. For example, many design experts recommend balancing one or two neutral colors with a handful of brighter accents, and avoiding clashing colors like purple with orange or red with green.
