Sunshine, Bright Sky, and Plants – Color Palette for Your Morning Coffee or Tea
Do you flavor your morning with coffee or tea? For me, it depends on my mood, the day’s activities… Sometimes I drink coffee in the morning for a head start and tea in the afternoon as a pick-me-up. On other days I prefer green tea, or sage tea (for instance) in the morning and strong coffee in the afternoon.
Speaking from a designer’s point of view, in what color to choose the coffee set or tea set for the morning? The color of sunshine – yellow, in the company of the color of the bright sky – light blue, or the color of plants – green. Let’s start the day in a sunny mood.
Think Pink and Have a Cup
Coffee and hot cocoa will lift your spirits, especially if joined by one of the sweetest colors there is – pink. So, think pink and have a cup.
Red Color Will Warm You Up
Red is a very strong and dynamic color that’s associated with the energy of fire. According to color healing experts, red color raises the adrenaline level and body temperature. So, when you are looking for warmth and extra energy – unite the fiery power of red cups and mugs with the warmth and energizing effect of coffee and cocoa.

Metallic Sparkle and Floral Delight
Pink, violet, and purple – matched with green, are a very artistic color scheme. Especially in the company of floral patterns and metallic sparkles of golden tones. Lovely tablescape inspiration for a tea party.

Speaking of flavors, let’s mention delicious spices that are being added to both coffee and chai tea in many countries – cardamom, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, cloves, saffron, fennel, and star anise. My way of preparing an aromatic and tasty coffee or chai tea – on top of some of these spices, I add unrefined sugar and plant milk (for instance, almond milk or rice milk). Delightful! 🙂
