Yesterday on my lunch I noticed some dandelions ~ Spring is here in the Northwest! I love this time of year with all trees and flowers blooming. Tomorrow they said our high should be 68. I can’t wait. I just love the pretty spring colors and on March 18th Better Homes & Gardens will launch first ever Better Homes and Gardens® Color Palette of the Year.
Below is the 2014 Better Homes and Gardens® Color Palette of the Year, and suggested paint hues from a variety of brands.
COLBALT: It’s the biggest news in fashion, wearable for anyone and any room.
o INDIGO CLOTH 4009-7 (VALSPAR)
· YELLOW: Pulled from the sun, this energetic color brings a happy mood.
o SUNDAY AFTERNOON T14-19 (BEHR)
· LAVENDER: Pale purple with gray undertones make an easy-to-live-with cool color combo.
o OBI LILAC SW6556 (SHERWIN-WILLIAMS)
· APPLE GREEN: This leaf-inspired hue is just like the greens in nature—a colorful neutral.
