Green - Use an array of greens, from the emerald shade of a new spring leaf to the sage green of a bed of moss and on to the dark green of a pine needle.
Brown - Shades of brown like the tan of a carpet of last autumn's fallen leaves to a chocolate brown tree trunk work well in woodlands decor.
Black - Use a touch of black, calling to mind a stone just below the surface of a brook or the rich earth of the forest.
Blue - Look up, and you see a glimpse of sky between the tree tops.
These colors - green, brown, gray, black and blue - form the backbone of your woodlands decor. They blend together beautifully and can imbue the homeowner with a sense of peace.
Nevertheless, a touch of brighter color can be used here and there, just as might be found in the woods.
White, lavender - While little sunlight finds its way to the forest floor, shade loving flowers occasionally bloom, often in white or purple.
Red, yellow, orange - In autumn what was once a sea of green and neutrals becomes red, yellow and orange as the leaves change color before dropping to the ground.
