A color pick-me-up can counter winter blahs..
Thursday, January 12, 2012
I usually tell my clients to have a winter palette of neutrals. I include navy--a favorite because it's softer and less predictable than black, and olive--because it works with most colors.
But to give a "lift" and bring on a smile , my favorite color (no secret, huh?) is bright orange. It's a secondary color on the "Color Wheel" (secondary meaning a color that takes 2 primary colors, --in this case red with yellow --to mix another ) that I find sophisticated and always conjures for me warmth and light.
Whether for winter season or for your winter vacation getaway, here are some vivid photos of items I loved. They are all simple in style, and orange can be beautifully paired with navy, white, olive or charcoal wardrobe items in your closet.
'Hope I've inspired you--what's your favorite punch color?
