jade and coral [and perhaps a dash of yellow]

I almost always find that I am drawn to the rooms that utilize at least three colors, even if they are all neutrals. Take coral, which seems to be everywhere lately. A coral room dotted with few different patterns and materials and perhaps a neutral here and there can be lovely. But add a cooling jade or teal to the mix and the warmth of a space drastically increases.


Add yet another layer of color to this palette, such a brilliant yellow, and spaces grow even more inviting.

Are your more restrained when using color or do you prefer many layers of it?

Love all these citrusy colors together. I think my family room may be getting a bit out of control colorwise...at least it's plenty cheerful to look at!
Christina said…
this is a classic color combination and i would not mind having it in my house someday (wearing the colors together is also quite fun).

Whilst I love all of these photos and admire the designers ability to mix such colours, I can't go past white walls & neutrals. However, that does not stop me from wishing that I could carry off a room like one of these. Lee :)

Ooo! You are going to love the new colors in the Astor collection tomorrow. We used all of these colors in the jewelry designs.

Great minds think alike!

Love all this color... that table with the different colored chairs is so fun. And I do love that coral pop in the first image.

These three colors create such a warm, inviting space!
Love these images. Will add them to my "beach" file for the condo I am working on.
These spaces are so breathtaking. As much as I love color, I think that when I decorate my living space I'm more restrained when using it. Though now that I've seen these spaces, I may have to rethink that.

I love each of these colours when used as an accent. I would have never ventured to use them all together but the results seen here are quite stunning.

I love how fun and retro, yet sleek and modern this look is. A very unique colour palette, indeed.

I love your choices :)

Here's my mix of color in my living room in 2007:
