I'm having a real moment with the color gray.
It's the perfect neutral for me lately. It compliments everything: navy blue, reds and oranges, even rich kelly greens look amazing with gray.
I'm especially loving it when mixed with a delicious shade of cognac.
Whether it be my weekend uniform of gray jeans and cognac boots, in home decor or a beautifully crafted handbag (I die Celine, I do...) it is a color combo that has been turning my head for months.
While the cognac and gray is rich and serious and sends a nod to tradition, thoughts of spring are creeping in and I already sense myself drifting towards a lighter shade of coral mixed with a stately gray.
We have a modest kitchen facelift happening here in about a month (more on that tomorrow!) and I have already selected Benjamin Moore's Chelsea Gray as the wall color.
How pretty are these little kitchen accessories with my wall color?
What color combos are you loving right now?
I so love grays. I love the moody earthen clay grays that change with your moods and with the filtering sun light. I use BM as well. I have revere pewter in our living room contrasting with plum raisin (the perfect red). I have a deep green clay grey in the dining room that flows into the kitchen (tiny house -tiny open floor plan) I believe it is midnight desert. I also wear grey all the time as it does go with everything. LOVE this assembly of colors and pictures. Inspires my morning.
ReplyDeleteSo glad to provide some inspiration! I know how much a little eye candy can do for my day. Revere Pewter....I'm going to have to check that one out!
DeleteI have always loved the idea of a light grey/taupe for a wall color - I think it would contrast really well with white trim and some pops of lighter color. Classic yet modern.
