How Winona Ryder's '90s Living Room Made a Controversial Yellow and Green Color Palette Look Effortlessly Chic

Winona ryder in her '90s living room.

Some color palettes (like blue and white) just make sense, while others (like yellow and green) raise instant alarm bells. There's no way those shades could look chic together, right? Winona Ryder's living room from the '90s is the antithesis of all of our preconceptions about risky color pairings.

Archival images of the actress in her New York apartment from 1994 show how to style green and yellow together effectively. She brings the unexpected color pairing in mostly through a large painting featuring brass instruments on a dark green background. Her walls are cream. Winona perches on a sand colored velvet accent chair, which helps to ground the brighter tones of the room. Light green silky pillows add a touch of softness that ties the colors together.
