Bringing in the sunshine

I am really not a fan of winter, the grayness and blues that it brings to my emotions is really horrible. Having experienced a cold below freezing winter here on the east coast I thought that I would try to usher in Spring, with its warmth and sunny yellow hues. I chose yellow because it is suggested that it brightens up grays and blues in the world of color. Yellow is warm and cheerful, and if you could close your eyes you can almost feel the warmth of the sun. Here is my inspirational yellow board with some of my web finds.

Next on my walk through fall colors is red. I love the richness of a red apple and the shades of red I find on maple tree during fall.

While red is a color that stands strongly on its own, you can pair it with other colors. Now stay away from having a chrismasy feel to your fall wedding, pair with colors like orange, golden rod, green similar to what you would find in the fall landscape. Colors come into harmony and create a great feast for the eyes when they are not too close in value such as dark red with a pale or golden yellow. In my opinion, the darker reds like Crimson will be more representative of fall than brighter reds like tomato.

A little something about red

A stimulant, red is the hottest of the warm colors. In some cultures, red denotes purity, joy, and celebration. Red is the color of happiness and prosperity in China and may be used to attract good luck.

Other names for red

Scarlet, crimson, vermilion, carmine, maroon, burgundy, ruby, rose, madder, rouge, brick, blood red, blush, fire engine red, cinnabar, russet, rust, Venetian red, flame, Indian red, tomato.

Okay, if you have read past post you know that I am in love with Fall and all the colors that accompany this glorious season. I know that is still weeks away but why wait. Now as with anything that we love, we want to make it last a long time. For the next few weeks I will be starting the week off with inspiration boards inspired by the colors of fall. Colors found in nature, food, clothes well you get the picture.

Of course as I to start off this series I MUST start with my favorite color.....ORANGE, that deep burnt orange found in the changing leaves on your drive to upstate NY, Mums, my dining room.

Enjoy this board as much as I enjoyed putting it together. I really do have an addiction to the color.
