How do colour schemes work in DecorAI?
Updated August 19, 2026
Short answer
A colour scheme sets the palette the AI works with — DecorAI offers more than 40, from neutral and earth tones to bold and monochrome. A colour scheme is optional and layers on top of the style, so the same Scandinavian style can be generated in warm beige or in deep green.
Colour schemes are the fastest way to test paint and textile directions before you buy anything. Generate the same room, the same style and the same controls three times with three different schemes, and the only variable is colour.
Getting a specific colour
- Use the free-text field for an exact shade: "walls in a soft sage green, warm brass fittings"
- Use a Moodboard when you want the exact colours of images you collected — the palette is measured from the real pixels, not guessed
- Use Style Transfer to copy the palette of a single reference image such as a fabric or artwork
- A Design Report (Pro) returns the named hex palette of a finished design, which you can take to a paint shop

Moodboards & inspirationHow does the Moodboard colour palette work?DecorAI reads the actual pixels of every image saved on the board and merges the top five colours across the whole board into one palette card. The palette is measured on your device rather than guessed by the AI, it is instant and free, and those exact colours are used when you redesign a room from the board.Design toolsWhat does Style Transfer do?Style Transfer applies the palette, materials and visual language of a reference image to your room. You can use one of DecorAI’s built-in references or upload any image — a fabric, an artwork, a Pinterest photo or another interior — and your room is regenerated in that look.Room Analysis & Design ReportsWhat is a DecorAI Design Report?A Design Report is a written analysis of a finished design. It contains a style profile and designer’s assessment, the colour palette with hex values, a before-and-after list of what changed, five to seven prioritised recommendations, a three-tier cost estimate with per-category breakdown, an ordered action plan, and a branded PDF export. Design Reports require Pro.
