What makes a scandinavian palette work
Scandinavian color is built for long, dark winters, so the whole point is to maximize light. The base is bright white or very pale grey, pale woods (birch, ash, light oak) add warmth without darkening the room, and accents stay soft and muted — dusty blue, sage, blush, charcoal — used sparingly. Saturation stays low so the room feels calm and airy. Upload a Scandi reference to pull its exact white-and-pale-wood balance.
