Thanks so much for sharing my little abstract tribute to the colors of the year!
The colours I was drawn to this year (and painted walls in 😉) BM Rockport Grey, BM Capitol White, ROmabio Arborio white limewash, BM Dragonfly and fusion Mineral Paint Black (accents/handrails)… which on paper looks crazy, but Seems to work well in person! For 2021 I have my eye on a coral/salmon door, but that might end up black as well 😆
Wishing us all a more joyful colors in 2021!
