New Color Statements

Color is a fascinating aspect of interior design that is fun to follow.
The nice thing about it is that it can be brought into a current interior
with a can of good paint, or well placed accent pieces.

Techno Color - is a new term for a grouping of colors that have
me intrigued. They are extremely liveable, and soft.
They gravitate toward pinks, soft blues, and soft greens.
All of this has to be punctuated with a bit of an urban look
in bringing in concrete, or stainless in an architectural way.
Also we need neutrals in the space that are dark in their undertones
and a bit subdued. Think Urban Contemporary with Arts & Crafts
combined.

What you get is a softness that trancends time. Not a trendy statement
here, but timeless in application.

You will not find Techno Color in your Wikepedia index. It is really
my terminology for a color pallette that is evolving in my studio.
I am using it in a fun project currently - truly inspired by an amazing
client that sees no color boundaries. We have dabbled in many directions,
but the focus on good Arts & Crafts antiques brings us back to this
color scheme of soft understated hues.

So I am off to have a day full of Techno Color and finishing up details
for a client from heaven.
