Adding a “pop” of color…

Monday I shared with you the color scheme that I am planning for my downstairs living areas. I also mentioned the fact that I can add a pop of color to the rooms whenever I’m loving a new color without having to change the entire space. Right now my color of choice is teal!

What a wonderful color this is! You really don’t need much of it in a space. Now I need to find the perfect shade in paint…

What is your “IT” color of the moment?

That is going to look great and I love the idea of inserting color that isn't a huge commitment!

Wonderful photos!

Mine is any form of teal. Like turquoise and aqua. I'm even going to incorporate them into my holiday decorating this year: http://thespeckleddog.blogspot.com/2010/10/because-heat-kicked-on-this-morning.html

I would have to say my "it" colors are browns, greys, deep aurburgines, gold and copper ...I know it was suppose to be one but those are the colors I'm loving at the moment.

At the moment it's my accent colors in orange for the bedroom and apple green or lime green in the living room.
I love teal and turquoise though, which I switched out earlier this year from the living room.

Oh I love that teal!! My color at the moment is gray! And actually that yellowy mustard color of the flowers on your background! Love! I'm sure next week my IT color will be hot pink or something...

Very nice post in short format.. I must adopt this method for some of mine.. I try and try but I always end up long! Nice job and love the idea!! :-) For the color, check strip 135 with Sherwin Williams.
