Hey there. We were having our house walls painted in orange, which upon application appeared too bright. So, we asked the painters about any possible way to tone down the brightness. They told us how to tone down a bright paint color. There are a few ways like adding a darker colour, other than black. Some options work well. I’ll share everything below.

How to Tone Down a Bright Wall Color?
Here are some ways that’ll help you to tone down bright paint colours:
Use darker colours: People often go for black when they want to neutralise or tone down the colour brightness. But, better options are brown and grey. They work well when you want to reduce a paint colour’s brightness.
Adding Neutral Elements: This is more of a balancing element for the paint on the wall. You can choose decor and interior pieces like curtains, wall hangings, rugs and other items in neutral and earthy tones to reduce the brightness of the paint colour significantly.
Opposite in the Colour Wheel: So, the trick is to use the colour which is directly opposite to the bright colour on your wall in the colour wheel. Mixing a small amount of that opposite colour will balance the brightness.
So, this is how to tone down bright paint. I hope this turns out to be useful for you.
