Venice Color

I have this photograph as my desktop background and was sitting staring at it for awhile this evening and noticed this section of the photograph where colored window openings were noticeable as an interesting grid of cool tones.

While I tend to think of Italian colors as reds, oranges and browns - this section was noticeable for its canal hues of blue and green.

Re-musings / more musings on office colors

So...after painting a wall sample of the blue - I was not happy. I guess I should have known since I am not a fan of blue (clothing, paint, anything really - except blue skies of course). I have tried Ruby Dusk - a classic Benjamin Moore color - which, while dark, seems to be right.

Here it is in a sample office from the BM site - I do have Linen White trim

Musings about home office colors

I am thinking about what color to paint a new office/guest room...the room gets quite a bit of light (faces west).

 

I love this blue - and for those who know me - I do not like blues usually but love the depth and warmth of this one.  I also however, am intrigued by a coppery color or a green as well.

 

or even these colors are interesting as well...

Wasabi (wall color)

or

Etruscan (wall color)
