Jewel Paint Colours

Planning a decorating project and want to make a real statement? Jewel-tone paint colours are a terrific alternative to a neutral palette. Inspired by precious stones like rose quartz and sapphire, this elegant colour family is synonymous with style and luxury. 

As well as being an upmarket choice, jewel tones are some of the most versatile colours around. As they all take their inspirations from the same place, these moody hues work incredibly well alongside one another. You can enrich your space with saturated shades like emerald green, ruby red and amethyst, without worrying about any colour conflict. 

What’s more, jewel colours can be used in any room. They’re an obvious choice for bedrooms, but a jewel-toned colour scheme can also be put to use in a living space or dining rooms. Concerned your space is too small for these rich shades? Think about using jewel tones colours for an accent wall.

Ten Stunning Jewel Paint Colours

Ready to experiment with a jewel-toned colour palette? At Johnstone’s, we offer an incredible assortment of jewel tone colours for turning any space into something extraordinary. 

If you’re planning on decorating a bathroom or want to breathe new life into a bedroom, go with a blue jewel tone. Something like Tropical Holiday will work well if you’re not afraid of more vibrant shades. This mid-tone teal aqua is incredibly uplifting, although it’s not so overwhelming that you can’t use it in more relaxed corners of the home like living spaces. 

Although it’s a relatively saturated space, this jewel tone will amplify natural light. Use it to paint living room walls with tall windows. If you want to create a more luxurious interior, turn to your jewel box for inspiration. Other jewel-inspired hues will work well alongside this brilliant hue. However, conventional blue paint colours can also be used to complete your colour scheme. 

If you’re searching for something slightly softer, you might want to try using Minerva. This is another teal aqua shade, but it’s slightly more subdued than some of the other jewel tones. As it’s lighter, you can use it liberally, even in a smaller space. It’s a fine choice for bedrooms or small bathrooms, pairing well with white accents and reflective surfaces.

If you don’t want to dive in at the deep end with jewel tones, try using neutral interior wall paints, then use this stylish shade to add pops of colour. You can stick to a tonal blue palette or experiment with different jewel tones for something more interesting.

Ready to experiment with something more intense? Jade Jewel will appeal to anyone looking to bring a sense of luxury to their interiors. This turquoise aqua shade will make a superb addition to grand living spaces or bedrooms. If it’s too intense for a smaller room, you can always use it for a feature wall.

While this jewel tone will work nicely alongside off-whites and more subdued neutrals, it really comes into its own when paired with luxurious accents. Think about spending a little more on premium finishes for your room makeover. Vintage furniture and metallics will work incredibly well alongside this paint colour.

The name says it all. Blue Jewel makes an instant impression, with its periwinkle hues boasting intense blue and purple. It’s a dark and visually arresting choice, making it an obvious pick for living spaces and master bedrooms. If you’re worried about a lack of natural light, dial your use of this one back and save it for an accent wall.

You can coordinate your colour scheme with any jewel tone. However, this shade works particularly well alongside other blues. For more depth, turn to purple-inspired jewel tones. Classic greys and silvery neutrals will also work nicely.

If you’re someone who loves pastels, but want to take things up a notch with your next decorating project, Silent Ripple is worth using. This aqua-green teal has all the vibrancy of sky-blue tassel, but comes with the added elegance you only get from a jewel tone. It might be an eye-catcher, but this hue is very versatile. You can pair it with almost any blue, classic grey, or even citrus-infused shades. 

It’s also timeless. Use it to decorate a high-ceilinged space that’s rich in period features. Alternatively, swap out your go-to neutral for this one if you’re decorating a contemporary space. Fresh and uplifting, it’s the perfect choice for breathing life into an open-plan space. 

Here’s another brilliant blue jewel tone that’s bound to inspire you. Isle Royale is a mid-tone teal aqua-green that will work exceptionally well in a lounge, bedroom or bathroom. There’s a lot of intensity to enjoy here, making it a great idea if your current interior is lacking character.

Despite being fairly vibrant, this jewel-toned blue is one of the most versatile colours in our collection. If you prefer a more simple colour combination, pair it with off-whites. If you’re ready to experiment with a more sophisticated palette, bring in intense turquoise, plush pink or glistening metallics.

Not every jewel tone is intense. Silent Snowbank is more of a barely-there take on this luxurious colour family. Although it’s a teal aqua-green, it’s very light in character. With its icy profile, it’s an easy choice for bathrooms or kitchens. You can even use it as an accent colour to a more intense shade.

If you’re using this to decorate a space you’ll be using in the mornings, think about bringing in something with warmer undertones to balance everything out. Alternatively, turn to your soft furnishings to enhance your colour scheme. Textured fabrics and earthy tones will work particularly well alongside this cool blue.

The right jewel tone can turn an unloved corner of the home into an interior design marvel. Tint of Turquoise makes a terrific addition to any palette. It’s ideal for injecting a sense of luxury into a living space or bedroom. Rich and intense, it will serve as a jaw-dropping backdrop to any arrangement.

Use it as a vibrant alternative to neutral shades in a contemporary space. If you’re overhauling an older property, this is the perfect shade for accentuating ornate finishes and period features.

The best jewel paint colours are complex. Jewel Weed is one such shade. Although this paint colour is an eye-pleasing example of peacock, this aqua-green is also enriched with a seafoam tint. With so much going on, you’re not on options when it comes to selecting secondary colours and moody accents to bring a space together. 

Although this works incredibly well as an all-wall shade, it also makes a classic companion to all manner of greens, greys and earthy tones. If you’d rather stick to a tried and tested colour palette, round things off with a splash of crisp white and turn to your soft furnishings to add another layer of detail. 

Blue and green-infused jewel tones aren’t necessarily synonymous with warmth. However, Torrid Turquoise proves you can enjoy both of these palettes, without sacrificing colour temperature. Deep and moody, this aqua-green can be used liberally throughout any space, without leaving your interiors feeling cold and in need of spicing up. 

If you do decide to bring in additional colours, think about balancing things with grassy hues or bottle greens. However, all manner of neutral hues and wood tones will work nicely here.
