I LOVE her! She is my favorite designer because what she does, makes sense. Too many designers think what looks good for THEM or they try their style on someone else. Candice does a fabulous job. Lots of gray. I don't see a lot of gray in houses - maybe one room with a light gray.

Wouldn't you love to have the job of naming paint colors.

Canidce Olson is "divine", she's my favorite too Shar. Everything she does is so subtle and tasteful, but I love that she adds a bit of "bling" too.

Out of those colors, "Seashell" is my favorite. Lots of neutrals and pastels, and the "Caliente" almost looks out of place in this color scheme.

Very pretty palette! I enjoyed reading the names of the colors--reminded me of selecting baby names--lots of care, creativity and correctness required to get it just right.

I love Candice too LaNita, I record all her shows. I am seeing more and more people get braver with gray. Many people don't like it though.

I would Merv! I think it would be a fabulous job!!

Exactly Roger. She always uses classic design but has the bling and small pieces of fun in it.

I could see it with the "Smoke" perhaps for an accent color Lynda but I am not a fan of solid red rooms.

Isn't that the truth Kathy. I printed her list off and have it in my design folder. :) Thanks so much for the feature!

Norma, the names are great aren't they? Some names of paints make me laugh!

I love these colors! I've only used one of them...we used Ashley Gray in my daughter Ashley's condo. The name did influence us a bit!

These are great. I'm bookmarking and I will reblog for my cusomers. I have many who are painting.

Ha! I bet it did influence you a bit Sharon! But it is a great color. I have heard that names of colors do influence people's choices.

Thanks Debbie. I hope it helps them.

Thank you for the list, Shar. Living at the base of Pike's Peak I was pleasantly surprised to see that name on her list:) I love them, but so far I've only had one redesign client buy into the gray palette. In our region people still gravitate towards the warmer, muted earth tones found in nature.

There are Janice!

BM has such great colors. Glad you can use it down the road Ellen.

Oh, a little makeover for the office for Spring Anna? Perfect.

Aren't they pretty Dorie? I have already used a few of them!

I agree Sally. Once in a while her show can be hooky but boy oh boy does she deliver on the design!

Mt. Ranier in Washington made it on the list too Kim, LOL. But I favor Pikes Peak (my sister lived there for years). I am having more and more people use the gray tones but with some brown undertones to keep them from getting too cold.
