Cooler color palettes with sage greens, denim blues, and soft grays complement warm wood tones like golden oak. These tones introduce calming contrast that balances wood's cinnamon and honey hues without overpowering them. For example, sage green pillows or denim-colored textiles can refresh a craftsman bungalow’s orange-toned floors and beams. Using cooler colors in accents and walls highlights wood’s unique character naturally.
