[color kreyv]: Pale Blue & Chartreuse

I'm not sure where or when this color combination came to me (not that I invented it, obvi), but if I had to guess, I'd say probably 3:00 a.m. when I was trying to sleep but instead thinking of pretty rooms. Isn't that when all your good ideas come to you (as your husband is just snoozing away, partly on your side of the imaginary bed line)? I have always loved pale blue, so I'm picturing the perfect shade of pale blue, bright whites, and accents of chartreuse…and not an obnoxious blinding chartreuse, but just a subtle chartreuse. Don't worry, I know exactly what I'm talking about, and the color swatches are being stored safely in my brain.

  6. What a great color combination! I really like the idea of a pale blue on the walls...pale enough to be a neutral even, and then adding the chartreuse in with accessories. Get tired of the green? Easy to change!
