Turquoise is a gorgeous color that is in between green and blue. Its name actually comes from the French translation, “Pierre turquoise” which means “Turkish stone,” and refers to the greenish-blue gemstone that today we simply call turquoise. The unique vibrant color of these stones contributed to them being revered throughout the ages and even considered holy by the ancient Aztecs. Luckily today you don’t have to purchase any gemstones to enjoy the many benefits of this wonderful color.

The Best Turquoise Bedding Color Options
Here are some of the best-looking color options to bring out the finest qualities in the color itself and of course your bedding:
Solid Turquoise Bedding
The most common choice of all turquoise bedding is simple solid turquoise. It can make quite an impact and when paired with light neutral colors in a room such as white and off-white, will provide a really sophisticated look. For this reason, it is actually one of the most popular choices by university students when purchasing comforter sets for their dorm rooms.
And of course, for the master bedroom, solid turquoise bedding can be a gorgeous option. It’s also perfect for any tropical or oceanic theme when used with white or beige. In fact, the combination of beige decor and turquoise bedding can really conjure up images of the sandy beach and tropical water.
Solid turquoise doesn’t always mean plain either, as there are many luxurious-looking striped and hounds tooth patterns available with high thread counts, especially in turquoise hotel bedding sets.
Turquoise and Brown Bedding
These two colors go so well together because of the fact that brown is neutral. A deep rich brown really helps to bring out all that turquoise has to offer. It always makes any pattern or design stand out boldly such as with the damask pattern shown below. Brown and turquoise bedding can also sometimes be used to create a more vintage look like that of the 1950s and 60s.
Turquoise and Black Bedding
This is another color combination that really highlights the natural vividness of turquoise. Even more so than brown and turquoise, black and turquoise bedding can truly create a look that is stunning. On a neutral black background turquoise truly “pops”.
Turquoise and White Bedding
Turquoise and white bedding is always clean and refreshing. Because white is neutral it allows these colors to work exceptionally well together. A bright white is eye-catching but doesn’t take away from the turquoise and together they really can define simple yet chic. Using this combo if you have white furnishings is always an easy classic match.
Red and Turquoise Bedding
This is often an overlooked choice as many people don’t realize just how appealing using contrasting colors can be. And that is what red and turquoise are: opposites. Red is bold and energetic so when used with cool and calm turquoise it creates balance both visually and psychologically. This is one of the reasons that these two colors are found so frequently in Native American and southwestern designs.
Purple and Turquoise Bedding
Depending on the shades used, turquoise and green bedding can oftentimes bring to mind the colors of a peacock. Rich purples can sometimes overpower turquoise, making lighter purples a much better choice. Purple and turquoise bedding often goes well with the decor of girls’ rooms.
Pink and Turquoise Bedding
Because pink is a warm color and turquoise is cool, they can look really stunning together. Pink will work to accent the turquoise and can really bring out its gem-like appearance. Pink and turquoise bedding can be very vibrant and is another option that is often used in young girls’ bedrooms. Bright pink and turquoise can also be used to create a tropical Floridian-type feel. Whether you choose pink bedding with turquoise or turquoise with pink, it’s a win-win situation.
Turquoise and Yellow Bedding
Turquoise and yellow bedding can look quite lovely, especially when used with a paler shade of turquoise. Because together they can be quite bright, bedding that also features some neutral colors like brown is always a good idea.
Turquoise and Green Bedding
Lime green and other citrus colors can go very well with turquoise. Green adds a clean and pristine feel which also reminds of us nature and because of this using turquoise and green bedding can really work for tropical themes. This pairing is a little more subdued than using yellow and also can be a very good choice for paisley bedding.
Turquoise and Grey Bedding
Grey makes for an exquisite contrast to turquoise. Turquoise and grey bedding is almost always very elegant and “grown up,” looking. Adding a grey bed skirt can really make the contrast between these two even more apparent and luxurious.
Cool and relaxing there is no better choice for your bedroom than turquoise bedding. Able to work with a large variety of themes and colors you can rest assured that by choosing this wonderful color you will be creating a space of serenity.
