Thanks for this post Dane.  I love the pink and green combination as well.  I also tend to favor the chocolate brown with just about every color!

Lime Green and Brown are becoming my fave lately. I have not had the opportunity to use it yet, but I plan on it. I also love the blues and browns and sage greens, plums and creams.

Dane, I think color combinations are such a key. Why some people match the wrong colors is beyond me? The photos show the mixing of them and brings out their richness.

Great photos!  The best place to find the perfect color combinations is in nature!

Your color combinations are great!  My colors are grey, black and white/silver/gold.

I love to place colors in others homes, but when it comes to mine I'm fairly neutral with the color brought in by artwork.

My new fave's are orange and green, more specifically burnt orange and khaki greens. Just bought a bunch of new inventory this weekend, wish I had photo's to show how good these look together

Dane - Love your combinations. Very nice visual. If more people would look to nature for a guide in colour selection they would get the best results.

What a beautiful post.  Color must be a hot topic right now. I guess we are all craving the colors of nature after winters dreary days. Spring is just around the corner. Thanks Dane.

Great colour choices Dane.  I love colour and like to use it in interesting ways.  Shades of yellow & red are two colours I enjoy together and like in a kitchen.

There are many great color combinations to choose from. Green has always been my favorite color. I like green and brown together.

Dane,

Thanks for the combinations. Sometimes you have to use color to neutralize what is already in the house.  Brown  blends blue, harvest gold and even pink. Can you tell I've staged some non-updated baths?  Vivian
