Color of the Month - Grey - November

I feel a bit guilty caving to the weather outside and selecting GRAY for this month, but well...it's what I see outside the office window! That said, November means we're only one month until Christmas!

Gray is a great neutral which is having a resurgence. It's great paired with cooler tones, but also if you warm it up a bit - think of dove grey - it's beautiful with soft pastels.

If GRAY is your favorite color you seek secure, balanced existence. Independent, loyal and are not happy unless you are with other people.

Here's some great examples of gray in decor:


Here from one of HGTV's designers is a wonderful dove gray with warm toned golds and peaches.


Here's a strong gray room from designer Candace Olsen. Mixes with warm neutrals and rich woods, keeps it from feeling cold.

And from the Pottery Barn Catalog, here is a soft gray mixed with spring pastels.
