Dusty Chalk Posted January 8 Report Posted January 8 From memory: Yellows -- happiness Reds -- energy Blue -- cool, calm Purple -- Royalty Greens and Oranges -- psychoses 🙃 Black -- self-harm, depression, death And now, testing my memory: I like how it felt obliged to raise its voice in defense of green and orange, but didn't defend black at all. Also: a more serious -- albeit Joan Rivers, fashionista -- take on colours for 2026: https://www.domino.com/design-inspiration/fixr-2026-color-trends/?utm_source=firefox-newtab-en-us

Voltron Posted January 9 Report Posted January 9 6 hours ago, Grahame said: But wait. There's more! Joanne is having second thoughts on the north facing rooms and is considering something lighter ( or technically a higher LRV) so our friend with taste (she worked professionally with fabrics and has a good eye) suggested "Rich Cream" as a lighter alternative to Desert Tan. A soft beige sweetened with a touch of peach, this neutral brings to mind a decadent crème custard. https://www.benjaminmoore.com/en-us/paint-colors/color/2153-60/rich-cream Time for another trip to the hardware store for a paint sample and paint up a color board. And don't forget the old chestnut of having a feature wall in a deeper / darker shade so that you can struggle over two colors in one room! 1 2

Oh you heard about the Accent wall in the lounge? Lighter/ Darker / Shorter / Longer ? Previous short / long comparison OK long it is, But Rich Cream? Or Desert Tan? The Correct Answer, as always, is: Yes, Dear. Edited January 9 by Grahame 2 7

Grahame Posted 13 hours ago Report Posted 13 hours ago And after all that headed down to Burlingame to catch up with Joannes tall Australian nephew to hear all about his project work for Nvidia before catching the red eye back to New York. He very kindly gave us his'n'hers house warming gifts from Joannes sisters and himself. Also spotted in Burlingame 5
