Trend Alert: Grey & Yellow

Trend Alert Grey & Yellow (small)

Yellow – one of my favorites!  By pairing it with different colors, it can take on so many different lives.

Pair it with pink, orange, turquoise – it becomes a bit of a fiesta!  Placed with black & white – it is bold.  Nestled between sky blue and pale green, it is the ideal palette for a baby shower.

This season – I am seeing a ton of yellow and pale grey mixed together.  It’s somewhat of an unlikely pairing, but is really attractive!  I like it especially in the home.  Grey is a great neutral backdrop that gives you the opportunity to change up your pop colors seasonally.  This season….I hope you will choose yellow!
