Favorite Color Combinations: Neopolitan
Strawberry, Vanilla and Chocolate Inspire a Delicious Palette
Houzz Contributor. Hi There! I currently live in a 1920s cottage in Atlanta that I'll describe as "collected."
I got into design via Landscape Architecture, which I studied at the University of Virginia. I've been writing about design online for quite a few years over at Hatch: The Design Public Blog.

Does summertime make you think of grabbing a frozen treat? When you cannot decide which flavor of ice cream to grab, get a carton of neopolitan. Just about everyone can agree on it, whether they want to taste every flavor or just scoop out their favorite. When it comes to rooms, go for it and grab the full combination of pink, brown and white! Check out the variety of beautiful rooms in this palette below.
These window treatments look just like the stripes in a box of Breyer's ice cream, and create a vibrant backdrop for the more subdued furniture in the room. The floral pattern on the host and hostess chairs add just the right amount of floral pop, especially when paired with these centerpieces.

Keeping your larger pieces of furniture neutral makes it easy to switch up your color palette. You can add a neopolitan pillow like this one, or when your tastes change to, say, mint chocolate chip or lime sorbet, you can easily change the colors in your room.
| This room is neopolitan from floor to ceiling, though the pinks are a bit more raspberry than strawberry. The designer added a small bit of orange to the neopolitan palette via throw pillows and an exotic design on the bottom of the window treatments. |

| Muted neopolitan hues make this a sophisticated modern room. The pink is a bit more mauve, the wood on the furniture and trim provides warm shades of brown. |

| This eclectic room includes more colors, but the overall scheme still reminds me of my box of ice cream. |
The combination works well with this traditional foyer and staircase; the contrast between the white risers and wooden runs stands out next to the salmon pink walls.

Alternatively, this room amps up the saturation with whimsical bubble-gum dot wall decals.

| A white cathedral ceiling and trim, dark wood furniture (okay, so it's a bit more ebony than brown) and soft pink walls make this bedroom a soothing and welcoming retreat. |

| Once again, our neopolitan palette is subdued. Muted pinks and tans give this room a warm glow. |

This wallpaper from Amy Butler is a whimsical way to bring in the neopolitan palette, as well as circles and florals. Here they have styled it with mid-century furniture that brings in various shades of browns.
