You're My Brown Eyed Girl

I woke up to grey skies and drizzle this morning, but this fun little summer ditty was playing on the radio and it made me not only long for summer, but also inspired me to write a series of blogs about colors and how they emotionally impact us.

The grey sky made me think about how this color has seen a rise in popularity recently. A lighter shade of black, grey is a cool and unadventurous color that doesn’t seem to whip up much emotion. Nearly all shades of grey are good neutral background colors. To make it more masculine, mix the grey with yellow and/or red; for more feminine areas mix it up with pinks, blues or greens.

Brown is the color of earthen items and represents stability. The color invokes a warm feeling of comfort and security. Although it is a natural, comfortable color, it can also be very sophisticated.

Black Widows…
Black as a color is often associated with something bad, menacing, or evil. When we use the word black in sentence or as an adjective, it is often associated with something negative or fearful. Although associated with death, mourning and sadness, black can actually be playful when mixed with white, green and pink. Black can represent power and can be used in a sophisticated or formal setting to make a bold statement.

For brevity's sake, I'll break these thoughts up .... More blogs to come on this subject.

Happy Home Staging, Charlotte!
