If possible to spin a fresh story on retro, modern and traditional paisley pattern, then this is an idea of what I think it should look like. And, yes, black and brown do indeed *go* together.

Featured colors are from Benjamin Moore:

Black
2137-10 Otter Brown
2024-10 Chartreuse
HC-128 Clearspring Green
2000-30 Red tulip
2139-40 Heather Gray
HC-91 Danville Tan

LOVE all these colors together — I’m using a lot of them right now myself in a model home — the black and brown in various furniture, a slightly “less pink” red as accent pillows, vases, faux floral arrangements, the gray on some upholstery, and the Danville tan is in the living room rug! It won’t look as wild as this, because the colors are spread throughout the home, with the red in tiny doses. :>)

Sounds absolutely lovely, Amy. Black and brown in the same space can look very chic!

Feedback from my Color Budz Thanks you guys!

"Surely the next step is eBooks?! Lori has written enough to fill tens of books (and then some, I'm sure) and she is the expert's expert: people will pay for this. I would/will. In fact, if you were to ever do courses, I believe I would fly over to the States to attend. You are both fantastic writers and I, for one, am gripped." —Heather Jenkinson, November 15 at 3:31am

"I just like the style you took with this article. It isn't every day that you discover something so to the point and enlightening."

"I have been looking around colorstrategies.net and actually am impressed by the terrific content material here."

"I simply needed to let you know that I have been enjoying what I have seen and I look forward to reading more."

"I love how you use color on your blog. Using that many colors in a logo or on one page can easily scream cheesy. The way you have used a lot of colors looks fun and classy. Very tasteful and it's obvious that you are a color pro."

"... And by the way, I thoroughly enjoyed your articulateness, erudition, and devotion to your profession."

"This cast was so informative and helpful. I have been reading color theory books, but to have all of the community and knowledge for a week away will be so helpful to grow in the color world. Thank you for making this series! I can't wait to hear more!"
