I have to admit :: I don't miss Southern California as much as I thought I would...but Texas summers are brutal. Thankfully, we are wrapping up our summer with a week in sunny, 80-degree San Diego!

DARK GREEN-BLUE #114B4F / MEDIUM GREEN-BLUE #4A7C88 / LIGHT GREEN-BLUE #78A4B0

PALE GRAY-BLUE #BFCDD6 / ICE #ECEFF6 / SALT #F3F4F8

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.

I hope you have a chance to soak in the last days of summer! Happy Friday!
