Seattle needs to use a warmer gray - to the beige side, sand tones. Cool grays do not work well with our gray skies. Now it is warmer and softer. They have spiritual influence and work with most any palette. The new forecast shows a lighter and clearer color direction with softer and more muted colors, backing away from the past years' strong colors.
Accessories create punch in vivid purple.
It's all about fun. A bit of the exotic - robust reds, rich browns, desert camel, burnished gold, orange mango, spicy curry or paprika, and jet black. Use in any room that's an escape from the overanxious, grown-up world, particularly bedrooms and baths. Minimal, monotoned, epitomizing simplicity. Use neutrals of gray, beige, taupe, ivory and other off-whites.
