Re: Are there certain colors you choose?

I buy a neutral color because my home is colorful.

Re: Are there certain colors you choose?

I tend to go towards darker colors...green mostly.  My living room walls are dark green with a coordinating wall paper in the dining room....The window valanes are green and burgandy with a gold/yellow stripe.  I have gotten a lot of compliments on the color combo...not that compliments 'matter' but nice to hear.....I like it!

 

I don't recall making a conscious decision about colors of thing in the house, things just evolved and coordinate....surpriningly.

 

Black and taupe is another combo I like, that is the color of my bathroom.

   Of course it's not that simple, @ILTH .

This is a friendly chat, not a course.

I'm just chatting from memory, and don't feel it's necessary to write a tomb, or check w Google to see what I left out.

I love the slate grey color for small kitchen appliances and cookware, but my VM is the champagne color, the recent Ninja is bright yellow, my Breville oven is red. I have all the colors of Fiestaware dishes too so whatever catches my eye----

Re: Are there certain colors you choose?

My kitchen colors are deep red/white/black so that is why I tend to go with deep red or white kitchen appliances.  Actually my livingroom and dining area are neutrals with deep red as the accent color.  So, I'm locked into that color story.

Definitely a red lover.  I even put a rich red roof on my house.

Hi,

 

Yesterday I was choosing a Vitamix TSV color,  deciding which I'd like to purchase for someone.  They wouldn't care about color.

 

I wondered why do we choose the colors we do...

 

-color theme, if they have one?

-choose what they like more whether it matches anything else?

-go with neutral- black, white,, gray, etc., ?

 

Do you do any of these, and what color do you choose?

I love bright citrus colors for the kitchen, including lime green.
