Trim and ceiling whites
Celery has yellow undertones, so a stark, blue-leaning white next to it can make it look more yellow and the white look colder. A soft, warm white usually sits better. White Flour SW 7102 is the white in Sherwin-Williams' own Celery palette, which makes it the natural first sample for trim, doors and ceilings. Test it against one or two other warm whites in the same room before deciding.
Combinations to sample
- Soft and light: Celery walls, White Flour trim and ceilings, Woven Wicker in an adjoining room.
- Kitchen: Celery cabinets or island, White Flour walls or uppers, with brass or bronze hardware (Enduring Bronze is a coordinate if you want a painted accent in the same family).
- Deeper contrast: Celery walls with an Artichoke or Cocoon accent wall, built-ins or lower cabinets.
- A pop of color: Celery as the main color, with Georgian Bay or Kirsch Red on a front door, a powder room or a piece of furniture.
Pairing Celery with Houston floors, counters, brick and stone
- Wood floors: mid-tone and lighter woods usually work; orange- or red-toned oak can push Celery warmer, so sample next to the floor.
- Counters and tile: creamy and warm-gray stone sit well with it; very cool gray or blue-white tile makes it look more yellow by contrast.
- Red or orange brick: common on Houston homes. Celery's green is a natural complement to red brick, but test in full sun, where its yellow undertone shows more.
- Exteriors: Sherwin-Williams lists Celery as an interior color on its color page, so ask whether it can be matched in the exterior product you choose, and check your HOA's approved colors first.
How to test a combination
Put large samples of each color side by side, on the wall where they will live, next to the floor and the trim. Look at them in morning, afternoon and evening light. Screens and phone photos shift greens, so decide on the wall. Our color visualizer is useful for trying an idea on a photo of your room, and a free color consultation looks at the combination in your actual light.
