burnt orange+ sky blue

Do you ever find yourself loving unexpected color combinations? Yesterday I was trying to help a coworker brainstorm color combos for her new baby's room and out of nowhere I found myself suggesting burnt orange and sky blue. Not quite sure where it came from but after some thought I really do think these complementary colors create a lovely look!

I do love this combo. It's a fresh new look to the blue and red combo.

This is a nice combo and I think it would be fun for a baby's room. I don't think you see this color combo too much in a baby room so I say go for it. It could be fun! Keep us posted if these are the colors.
I absolutely love this color combination. Gorgeous!
i am all for a little colour clashing, this combo is gorgeous, great for a baby's room too!

ps, loving the new layout, what did you do to get it to 3 cols? {if you don't mind me asking of course}, i've been trying to change mine & can't find anything that works, a web designer offered the service at $200! but i just thought it'd be a simple process! would really appreiciate any help you can give :)

i LOVE orange, but until today hadn't really considered combining it with sky blue, either.

great suggestion!
I really like this combo, both colors match each other.

These look cute, I'm just not a huge burnt orange fan in general. Bright blue and bright orange (colors of the University of Virginia) is one of my favorite combos, though!

What a great color combo :)... maybe it would be a good fit for my new Astor Collection...

Also I wanted to give you the heads up: I gave a shout out to yesterday's post about necklines on my blog with "Dressing Charlotte" this morning.

Have a great day!

oh wow those curtains and that chair are amazing. orange isn't my favorite color and i'm a bit shy with using it, but this combination really works. i think i'll have to try it (i'll start small:)

The combi of those two colors looks so fresh. The Hermnes orange is really growing on me.

These are the colors of my living room. And I didn't even plan it, it just happened. Love.

OOO, I really like this. Blue and orange are so good together. However, it has to be just the right shades. For instance if you go to dark on the blue then it reminds me to much of the Broncos, my home team and I don't like that. But these colors are great!!!

This would be such a lovely combination for a baby's room. It's fresh and modern but still very soft.

This color combo totally reminds me of "Ho Jo's" short for Howard Johnsons - we would go there for ice cream - I loved it then and now.
