Fulvous is ultimately a variation of brown but can be described as having yellow undertones, like these painted walls. Fulvous is inspired by the feathers of ducks and birds.
Pavo is an electric blue that refers to the feathers of a peacock. Best described as between royal blue and deep turquoise, pavo is seen here in the sofa pillows.
Aubergine is a deep brownish purple inspired by the exterior color of an eggplant. I love to see a bold aubergine with gray or turquoise.
Bole is a brownish-red hue that really looks like chocolate to me. I think bole, seen here on the walls, looks great with other neutrals and black.
Fallow is a tannish brown and is inspired by the light brown fur of a deer's back. This gorgeous shade, selected here for the carpet, pairs well with white and black.
This beautiful soft gray wall color has a bit of blue, but, again, there’s also enough brown to keep it from feeling gloomy or chilly.
Warm gray. With the cold, dark days of winter quickly advancing upon us, I’m sure many of you are loath to deck out your bedroom in a cold gray hue. Keep the chill at bay by going for a gray with plenty of brown to warm it up. This is my go-to neutral for those who need a change from beige.
Upstairs bath? This room simply glows because of its beautiful gold color that has just a small touch of green. It really gives the room a fresh feel.
A soft blue with a hint of gray is a fantastic choice to create a soothing, relaxing vibe in a bedroom. Those who live in areas where cool and overcast days outnumber warm and sunny ones may want to opt for a hue with more blue and less gray.
Whether you go for a cool lavender or a warmer mauve, the trick to making this color appear sophisticated rather than sugary is to go with a shade that has a good amount of neutralizing gray or brown in it. The paint color here contains both gray and brown, which neutralizes the purple. You get the best of both worlds — a neutral hue with just a hint of color.
