Are You Color Challenged?

To some people, choosing the right color palette for their home is a daunting, dreaded task.  And for others, it seems to come effortlessly -- like a gift bestowed by the Color Gods!  We ALL have our gifts, and a good eye for color and color retention happens to be one of mine.  I'm just lucky that way -- I can't take an ounce of credit.  I haven't met a color I didn't like, nor have I met a color I couldn't pair up with other colors.  I guess you could call me a 'Color Pimp!'  But for those of you who stand infront of the paint chip display at your favorite paint store just starring for hours until the manager tells you he needs to lock up the store for the night, I've found a little online tool that might help you with your color palette quandries.

It's a wonderfully creative website created by Jessica Colaluca called Design Seeds.  (www.design-seeds.com)  Filled with sumptuous photographs, this website is completely devoted to color and color combinations.  It will help you realize that Mother Nature has provided us with the most inspiring color palettes and we should just follow her lead!  For example:

Choosing your color palette is half the battle when selecting floor covering too.  If you're having a hard time utilizing what you own as your room's inspiration pieces, you might want to spend some time on Design Seeds website scanning the many color combination possibilities.  Print out the ones that inspire you and keep them in a file that you can take with you to the paint store and the furniture store and ACTION CARPET & FLOOR COVERING!  And, as always, any one of our sales people are always happy to share their expertise and offer another set of eyes to help you bring all your color ideas together.
