Happy, Happy Orange!!

Somehow I am obsessed with color this week. I just wrote about white and now orange?!?  Yep, all in a weeks work!!

Maria Killam the expert colorist who writes the blog "Colour Me Happy" is currently at the Color Marketing Group Conference (yes there really is such a thing!) in San Antonio Texas. She recently reported that this shade of orange is IT for 2012.

No more whimpy orange or burnt tuscan orange, but a bright, crisp, fresh orange. And I personally LOVE it.  On the color scale, orange equals happiness. And boy does this shade make me smile.  Here are some rooms that are using a similar shade:



 (By the way, do you see what I see in the reflection of the mirror? Yep the Elkins chair :) )






Not ready to do an entire room in orange? How about some accent pieces?

  2. Lovely theme. Every colour has its own beauty, it depends on the onlooker which color suits him/her the best. Orange is really a happy color. I love the energy it brings, neither too bright nor too dull. Just perfect to show happiness and glea. I also liked the orange furniture's you showed. But after all I will go with the white. They are very much me !!!
