Paint Picks

Coral is a tricky paint colour that lots of don’t record as a favorite, but I think that it’s a terrific color that is just misunderstood. Coral is frequently associated with tropical or coastal interiors, and for that reason a lot of men and women are reluctant to use it outside of an oceanfront atmosphere. It will describe the warm colors that define real coral reef. It is also the color you’ll see inside many sea shells, but do not confine this colour to a beach home. Coral is also the colour of the sky at sunrise and dusk. I feel it is one of nature’s many eye-catching colours, and with a variety of tones that range from reds to rose to crimson, it works nicely in many areas.

Apricot. This color is pretty much synonymous with coralreefs, but apricot tends to be earthier and much more muted. In specifying the paint colors for this space, I took hints straight from my customer’s art. A mid-tone apricot worked perfectly for the walls, while a lighter pink coral highlighted the tray ceiling.
