Lavender, not Pantone color of the year

 Pantone color of 2012 is Tangerine Tango. However, while I don't have anything against orange (it is not a favorite), I prefer colors like Farrow & Ball's Red Earth or Ointment pink, which are slightly subdued colors with lots of orange in them.
I like to use orange accents with lavender.

 Here are some of my tried and true great lavenders.

Farrow & Ball - Cinder rose
Sherwin Williams - Brave Purple, Wisteria & Magical
YOLO (Eco friendly paint) - Air.07

Lavender goes with almost anything.
Green, yellow, blue, orange, white, taupe, red any color!

 You can see a client's home where I used Lavender in the master bedroom & adjoining bath + the living room in the last 4 pictures.

So tell me what is your favorite color?

I would like to hear from you.

Love,

Peggy

  2. Beautiful images Peggy and I love the subtle use of the colour in the last 4 shots tying it in from bedroom to bathroom!
    My Paris apartment has crazy orange fabric walls but my choice would be white walls and bring the colour in other ways........one day when I get the Italian pad happening :)

  4. My favorite color combo is blush and gold, but generally speaking, I am usually drawn to cool colors-aqua, lilacs, periwinkles. They are just so beautiful!

    Beautiful round up of lavender images!
