Blue

I am crazy for colour and probably a nightmare for a designer to work with.  Palette?  Are you kidding?  Let's just make a note of the colours that we won't be putting in my house like pink or lemon yellow.  But then there will be exceptions.  You see it matters what the object is when I decide if I like the colour or not.  Take blue, for instance.  Apparently I am on the cusp of a trend by painting my bedroom blue.  I don't know about THAT.  My bedroom is cream and blue, at least the walls and ceiling, the colour palette is expanding otherwise.  The above colour palette begins to describe my house.  It is missing the deep mustard and the soft chamois colours I have on some of my walls and I need more of that lovely purple.  Anyhow, back to blue.....

Generally I like blue to have a grey undertone, I like it as it gets close to purple and as it approaches teal.

 I have a big problem with turquoise.  Such as this.

But not if it is glass.

That is completely different.  And if it is combined with other colours I can go for that too.

And I would never accuse Mother Nature of creating something ugly.

But most of the time, I hate turqoise.
