Hi friends! Today I've got a really cool custom order I had this week which required some color mixing. The inspiration: this totally amazing lamp found by my client at Tuesday Morning. Isn't it beautiful!
The idea was to create a color that would compliment the deep saturated turquoise of the lamp base and tie together some of the soft colors around my client's living room. After a bit of thought I pulled out Annie Sloan's Duck Egg and Chateau Grey chalk paints.
Chateau Grey is a beautiful mossy green and Duck Egg is an aqua with a touch of grey.
(I always use a chopstick to mix colors)
(50/50 mixture on the right, 1pt Duck Egg/3pts Chateau Grey on the left - we used the color on the left)
I first tried a 50/50 mix, but ultimately it was a bit too blue for this project. The 1pt Duck Egg to 3pts Chateau Grey was a beautiful color next to the inspired lamp.
And our custom color in all its glory painted on this most awesome cubbied coffee table:
On deck for tomorrow is another inspired custom order - this time the inspiration was derived from a piece I just finished last week!
Thanks for reading!
