4 Summery Color Palettes From Pratt & Lambert

Summertime recalls fond memories of barbecues and blue skies. Drawing on the season’s signature experiences, Pratt & Lambert has curated four eye-catching palettes that make it easy to channel summer’s vibrant colors year-round. From the midnight sky to red-orange sunsets and emerald cornfields, summer provides endless color inspiration.

Backyard BBQ

Pratt & Lambert’s Blue Olympus (109G) complements this living room’s furnishings, pillows, table lamps, and accessories. 
Making a bold statement, Pratt & Lambert’s Red Chili (236G) brings American colors inside.

Celebrate Americana by painting an awning, door, or shutters in timeless red, white, and blue shades.

Dock of the Bay

Channeling oceanic aquamarine, this home office uses Pratt & Lambert’s Quiet Cove (213F) to embrace a sense of calm. 
This living room uses Pratt & Lambert’s Spring Field (216F) to evoke the colors of dewy mist.

Water contains vibrant hues, whether deep aquamarine or dewy mist. Recreate the oceanside in a front porch or sunroom—paint the ceiling, trim, and walls in blues and greens.

Retro Road Trip

The warmness of Pratt & Lambert’s Copper River (335D) and Georgia Clay (336G) inject desert heat onto this residence’s entryway.

Summertime recalls excursions like road trips. This warm palette combines old and new for a 1960’s feeling that suits a breezeway or indoor/outdoor room.

Knee High by July

This living room vignette celebrates garden greenery with Pratt & Lambert’s Asparagus (219E). 

Ripe red strawberries, navy blue blueberries, and green peas contain nature’s most vivid colors. Serve summer’s harvest through a repainted outdoor furniture set on a patio.
