Colors are like humans. Each one has a meaning. Each one conveys different feelings. Each one matters. How to mix people and how to mix colors is very important to understand because not all colors - or people - work well together!
When artists choose colors harmoniously, spectacular results follow. It's the same when designing a room!

In my last blog post I explored the secondary colors: green, orange, and purple. Let's now look at muted palettes of the same colors and see how we can create fresh hues and new feelings! So scroll along with me and take a few steps away from the brighter colors and together let's dive into these soft, gorgeous variations of the secondaries.

The muted rainbow...

Instead of limiting yourself to two or three colors, choose an assortment of rainbow-inspired hues for your room palette. Darker, muted versions of otherwise bright colors (yellow, pink, orange, blue, etc.) instantly create a cozy, comfortable look. Plus this color mix is perfect for Fall! Even brides are loving it!
