color inspiration
Written By Nikki Mihalik

Hello all,

Sorry I missed last Friday's post! Life has been hectic around here. Why is it that everything comes in waves? Early summer was so quiet that I began brainstorming new endeavors...then, of course, once I got the ball rolling on them, my schedule suddenly filled up and now I'm overbooked. Whoops. I guess it's better to be busy than to be bored!

Here's to hoping this weekend will feel more like this color palette :: peaceful, serene, and caaaaaalm. 

DEEP TURQUOISE #245D68 / TURQUOISE #007D83 / LIGHT TURQUOISE #4A989A

GREENISH-GRAY #AFB3B4 / LAVENDER-GRAY #A49FA5 / PALE PINK #D1AEAC

WHAT ARE THESE COLOR CODES? The “hex codes” above are provided as a courtesy for those customizing website colors or looking for general color inspiration. They are not based on paint or Pantone chips. Remember that ink on paper will never look the same as light on a screen. If you like a combination you see, we recommend saving the image and heading to your local hardware store to find paint chips that match. Digital colors will change depending on your phone/tablet/computer screen, so be sure to color match with real swatches. Also, I make up all the color names.

Happy Friday!
