 Blue Iris, in its simple translation, is a Blue-violet color. It pairs beautifully with yellow-orange, its complimentary color on the color ring. If yellow-orange is hard to visualize, try to imagine "mango" or "cheddar".
Intense versions of blue-violet are elegant in combination with gold and creamy white. Although, it's considered a cool color, iris is still warmer than blue, which may explain its popularity. Teamed with salmon (a light value of red-orange) and apple-green (a bright yellow-green), it forms an exquisitely balanced triad. It will be a pleasing room that combines in the right proportions, blue-violet with blue and blue-green or iris with violet and red-violet.
If you want your bedroom to be a quiet and restful sanctuary, try a slightly tinged bluish white, like "bit of blue" or "barely blue". As their names suggest, there is just a mere touch of blue as an undertone as you don't want the atmosphere to be too cold or sterile. Place a dozen irises in a clear vase for a fresh 2008 touch.
