Complementary room color scheme

Choosing paint for a room is rarely only about the wall colour. Baseboards, door casings, crown moulding, and a feature accent all need to sit in a coherent relationship so the space feels designed rather than improvised.

This complementary room color scheme tool takes the primary wall hex you already like, applies classical colour-harmony rules in HSL space, and returns a ready-to-sample trim colour plus an opposite-hue accent for furniture, art walls, or small architectural details. Homeowners, interior stylists, and renovation planners can paste a brand chip or photo-sampled hex and receive deterministic wall, trim, and accent bundles with RGB and CSS strings. Malformed colour codes fail with a clear invalid input error instead of a silent clamp. The free browser widget matches the prepaid API path at $0.002 per successful item so mood-board checks and production pipelines never disagree.

For developers — API access

Everything on this page is available programmatically. This section is for teams who want to wire it into their own systems; everyone else can just use the tool above.

API endpoint

POSThttps://api.kit.forhosting.com/life/paint-color-room-match

Prefer to automate it? One authenticated POST creates the task; the result comes back by webhook or a signed link. The same capability also runs here on the web, by email and from Telegram — and soon from our app too.

Call it from your stack

curl -X POST https://api.kit.forhosting.com/life/paint-color-room-match \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $KIT_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"wall_color":"#6B8E9F"}'

  body: JSON.stringify({

Example request

{
  "wall_color": "#6B8E9F"
}

Example response

{
  "task_id": "tsk_a1b2c3d4e5f6a1b2c3d4e5f6",
  "type": "life.paint_color_room_match",
  "status": "queued",
  "_links": {
