Orange Again

Filed under Color, Design Principles

One of my first big projects, and still a favorite.  The owner was a natural redhead, too.

So I am at my business meeting this morning and I am talking with this woman I just met.  She tells me, quite adamantly, how I look just like her daughter…EXCEPT HER DAUGHTER HAS RED HAIR…

I was floored.  Absolutely stunned.  “And what color do you think this is?” 

“Blond.”

Could be worse, I suppose.  She could have been honest and said gray.

Orange is a wonderful decorating color, not just for redheads, but for all hair colors.  Orange bathes a room.  Orange makes a room feel like home.  Even the boldest tones feel comfortable, not harsh like yellow can.  I find that some people are afraid of orange.  But once they add it to the mix, it’s love at first sight.
