Gallery: Color Inspo From Neighborhoods Around The Globe

When it comes to choosing color palettes for our homes, some of us are straight up color-phobic! 

The thought of neon yellow or hot fuchsia can make us break out in a cold sweat. Bold color isn't for the faint of heart, not everyone can embrace it. But then, there are the daring adventurous ones who will try anything once. After all, it is just paint, right? If you don't like it or get tired of it, you can always whip out a roller and try something different.

Most people fall somewhere in-between those extremes. They are curious about color, but they don't want to commit to it. Luckily, there are many ways to introduce color into your home. You could paint the exterior facade with complementary trim and door colors. Or, you could paint an accent wall or even just pop some color on the ceiling. The key is to get inspired and change things up!

Some awesome ways to get new ideas for home decor is to travel. But, if you don't have time to book a tour around the world (don't feel bad, most of us don't), take a look at these rainbow-inspired neighborhoods in San Francisco, South Africa, and everywhere in-between. Then, roll up your sleeves and welcome some color into your life!
