Each month when my House Beautiful arrives in the mail one of the first pages I flip to is the “Color” section. This may not come as a surprise to you since we know I’m all about color. However, it was a delightful surprise for me to be featured alongside some of my favorite designers in the May issue’s “Color” story on living rooms.
When I was first contacted about this piece, I thought I would most likely choose a bold color. But after I thought about it, I decided that Sherwin-Williams’ “Relaxed Khaki” is truly my go-to color for all living spaces, because it doesn’t make you choose just one palette. It plays nice with all colors from aqua to red, orange to plum. It’s one of the most versatile and easy-living colors you’ll find anywhere!
Wondering what other colors I love? You can get a free download of my Top Ten Paint Colors when you fill out the web form to the right of this post. The download will be emailed to you, plus you’ll be in the loop on all my upcoming design camps, product launches and speaking engagements.
Ok…so I told you my go-to color. What’s yours??

This is my favorite feature in House Beautiful! I tear it out almost every month and highlight the different colors I want to use in my future house. Your pick definitely made the cut

I always love seeing people I know in that column and am thrilled to see you there with your color!
One of my favorite go-to colors is SW6122 Camelback. I love the slight gold tones for a warmer feel.
I couldn’t pick just one! But I personally prefer warmer colors that are easy to live with like warm vanilla and pale yellow.
Benjamin Moore Manchester Tan, best neutral color!
