Think GREEN!

most people hear the word GREEN these days and automatically think of the ecological efforts to make the world a cleaner healthier place.  and while I am all about being 'green', I'd like to pay more homage to the fabulous colour, green...

green. green. green! by far, my most favorite colour. I can go on for days about the colour green. light green. dark green. lime green. sage green. kelly green.

green occupies more space in the spectrum visible to the human eye and is second only to blue as a favorite color. green is the pervasive color in the natural world that is an ideal backdrop in interior design because we are so used to seeing it everywhere.

green is the color of nature, fertility, and life and is also categorized as one of the most restful colours. green symbolizes self-respect and well-being. green is the color of balance. it also means learning, growth and harmony. green is a safe color, if you don't know what color to use anywhere use green.

COLOUR OBSESSION ~ GRAY (or Grey)

gray is known as the colour of intellect, wisdom and knowledge and has been perceived as a long-lasting, sleek, classic & refined colour ...

gray is conservative and dignified and often carries a sense of authority. it can be inconspicuous and controlled and is often considered to be the colour of compromise. thus it’s position between black and white!

gray is timeless, practical, and solid. a longstanding favorite suit color

gray can mix well with any color

www.kellywearstler.com

how to use gray: all shades of gray can be good, neutral background colors. use lighter grays in place of white and darker gray in place of black.

warm grays                                        cool grays

taupe (which i can spend a whole day writing about), is a grayish brown neutral is a conservative, slightly earthy, warm shade of gray

although well liked and often worn, people rarely name gray as a favorite color possibly because gray also is associated with loss or depression. however, use it with the right mix of colours and gray can become the perfect neutral!
