Popular Art Deco Style Colour Schemes

Silver, Gold, Metallic Blues and Charcoal Greys also represented the wealth and prosperity of the times.  Metallic finishes instantly add glitz, glamour and imply luxury and wealth.  This is the epitome of Art Deco style.

Neutrals

Art Deco was all about a streamlined, modern look and a neutral, monochromatic color scheme easily achieved this feel.  Creams, beiges, taupes and medium browns became popular choices for interiors and fashions.

Black & White

This is probably the most popular colour scheme during the 1920's and 1930's.  Black and white checkerboard tiles, floors and wallpapers were very trendy. Also, fashions became ultra sophisticated and streamlined.  The classic Chanel black and white ensemble was the ultimate in chic sophistication.
