Pro Tips
Tips for Using Concrete
Rules that keep concrete looking intentional, not accidental.
🔥 Use the 60-30-10 Rule
Let concrete be the 10% accent. A neutral fills 60%, a secondary color 30%. This stops concrete from overwhelming the eye.
🌡 Match the Temperature
Warm shades of concrete pair with cream, gold, and peach. Cool shades pair with navy, grey, and white.
⚖ Always Add a Neutral
Concrete needs a neutral partner — white, black, or beige — so it reads as intentional rather than overwhelming.
💡 Exploit Contrast
Pair concrete with its complement for maximum visual impact. Use the pairings above to find the right contrast ratio.
🎯 Start with One Accent
Add a single concrete piece first — a pillow, button, or scarf. Build from there; it's easier to add than pull back.
🚫 Avoid Wheel Neighbors
Colors adjacent to concrete on the wheel clash without intent. If you use them, mute one or buffer with a neutral.
