Crimson and Aqua

Happy Up Here (Datassette Remix) by Röyksopp

So, I’m gonna do everything in my power to extol the wonders and beauty of this color combination.  Crimson and aqua, in all their forms, makes for some arresting visuals.  It’s a perfect combination of ethereal and serene, and passionate and intense.  This combo has real balance.  It’s my absolute favorite, so my bedroom will be done in those colors.  Here are some palettes and pictures:

 

Come on now.  Go do it…now.  Especially paired with black, white and/or ivory these colors are amazing…they make a definite impact, but not in a showy, gaudy way.  Stop covering everything with sage green and taupe and start using color in ways that make you feel inspired.  Now, there’s nothing wrong with sage green and taupe, but let’s be honest…middle aged homemakers all over the country (at least) think the best they can do is neutral, neutral, neutral, safe, safe, safe.  Well, that’s not the best anyone can do!  And no color is truly dangerous or threatening in the correct measure.  It’s how you interpret color, how you become affected by color, and how you choose to express emotion and “vibe” with color that makes every color acceptable.  Color is not a thing to be afraid of, for it is a tool of expression.  Expression is one of the most beautiful and freeing things in life, so start expressing yourself!  And paint a few walls while you’re at it.

Here is a link to My Colourlovers Profile.  I create color palettes and use them in patterns on this amazing website.  Check it out, and see if you might want to join, too…I know I love it.
