Painting vintage furniture is a sure way to update the finish color while not changing the
integrity or style of the piece.
• This adds a sense of freshness when choosing soft color hues like whites, soft blues, and
lavenders.
a. For a shabby chic cottage finish you can distress the edges or not
• To add drama and sophistication you can paint furniture pieces in dark colors like navy blue,
blacks and burgundy hues.
• For a more whimsical or fun finish you can paint:
a. Stripes
b. Stenciling
c. Chalk paint or Wallpaper on face of drawers
d. Two tones
i. Example - Dressers painted one color and keep the face of the drawers untouched
or painted a different color.
With the cost of a can of paint you can be sure that you are getting the biggest bang for your
buck. Some of the best pieces of furniture are found outside department store ie Kingwood
Home décor! When shopping for furniture you have to think of mood and style on top function
and scale. Then you can choose paint to fit the design concept for your space.
5. How Lighting will effect color:
Natural light VS Artificial lighting
• Morning Daylight – Cool daylight absorbs the coolness and shifts color
towards warmer pigments.
• Strongest Daylight – Very bright direct sunlight washes out colour and
lightens and whitens it.
• Fading Daylight – Mixed light cancels both warm and cool shifting color
duller and neutral.
• Artificial Night Light – Warm lights absorb warmth shifting it to cool
pigments.
• Effect of Natural Light Exposures on Colours
• North – Adds Blue and overhead skylights dulls colour
• East – Adds Green
• West – Adds Orange
• South – Adds Yellow-White and washes out colour

7. Techno Color
recognizes technology, its advances, the speed at which it is advancing and how it is
impacting the world of design. Technology is expanding the color universe through a melding
of both vibrant and deep hues frequently executed in reflective surfaces. Shades like faceted
Emerald and a turquoise-like blue, an exuberant orange and a strong, vital purple plus a true
blue, Jet Black and Dark Citron are intertwined in intriguingly inventive color combinations.

8. Physicality
speaks to the colors of power and energy counterbalanced by the presence of hues that
express the necessity for introspection and calmness. Forged iron, satellite gray, antique
moss and gothic olive, strong, solid colors, are interplayed with the healing shades of herbal
lavender, grayed grape, rosy brown and a quiet, ephemeral foggy gray.

9. Sculpted Simplicity
speaks to how important shape, form and structure are to the end product and/or
environment. The colors are unassuming and do not take center stage. The sophisticated
tones elegantly harmonize with distinctively nuanced undertones, and include travertine,
anthracite, blanc de blanc and twilight mauve, supported by an anodized brown, ethereal
gray and a suggestion of silver.

10. Fluidity
is the palette that understands the inevitable human need for life-sustaining
cool water tones, and is rendered largely in dazzling blues and blue-greens.
These cooling hues include absinthe green, violet tulle, blazing Samoan sun,
dewberry purple and two orange-coral tones.

11. Collage
is about the home being a gathering place for found objects that are well worn and somewhat
nostalgic – a charming mélange of artfully constructed designs that demonstrate ingenuity and
resourcefulness. There is poignancy in this palette with color and design sounding a familiar chord. Tea
rose, deep reddish rhubarb, warm pumpkin spice and cozy sheepskin, are refreshed with margarita
green, provincial blue and cascading tones of aqua and teal make up this grouping.

12. Intimacy
implies a certain affinity and relationship expressed in tints and tones that are inviting
in nature and softly tactile – closely connected, yet subtly different, a happy marriage
of adaptable warm, cool and neutral tones. The palette includes gardenia white, lotus
blossom pink, rose cloud, fawn and café crème, while pale lavenders and opal gray.

13. Moda
Both svelte and voluptuous, Moda speaks of attention to detail and the drama of high fashion when translated
into interiors. Combinations can be theatrical in nature, displaying fashionable or whimsical flourishes, but always
done with tasteful finesse. Red dahlia interacts with blackberry cordial and wood violet, all accented by a
yellowed amber green. Corsican blue meets with magenta haze and an expressive linden green, while rich gold
waits in the wings for the appropriate moment to add a glimmering finale to any of the combinations.”

14. Tribal Threads
We are all members of tribes whether through cultural background, religion, political affiliation or community.
Tribal Threads color palette is as varied as the tribal diversity it represents, yet they construct a universal linkage
of artistic appreciation rooted in personal expression. Color combinations may be disarmingly simple or as
complex as inter-woven threads. Included are neutrals, such as bleached sand and kangaroo brown, burnt orange,
goblin blue, curry, peppercorn, and a rose-dusted cedar shade.

15. Eccentricities
is tongue-in-cheek in attitude with color juxtapositions that are highly original and cleverly
conceived in evocative combinations. A flash of neon green radiates off of zesty lemon or
nectarine combines with a daredevil Skydiver blue. Fudgesickle brown is rendered sweeter
with Strawberry Ice. A warm red coexists with its cooler counterpart, while black and/or
white can be drawn into any combination,

Notes de l'éditeur Artificial light can be divided into warm and cool light. Florescent lights have a cool bluish cast that tends to flatten colors. It is a bit harsher and sometimes causes hard surfaces to appear harder. Incandescent or halogen light throws a yellow cast. It tends to highlight a room's colorations with a warmer more comfortable ambiance. There are nine color pallets because there is not one lifestyle that works for everyone. There is more to it than just color; it has to do with texture, shape, form and function.
