Tree at Williamsburg Inn

I was in Williamsburg over the Thanksgiving holiday and during a stroll in the garden behind the Inn I was taken with the pattern and colors in the bark of this tree.

The gray and orange combination would make a very sophisticated color palette for either an interior and exterior of a home.

Quite a different look than the orange in yesterday’s Etsy Inspired color palette.  These tones of orange are much more sedate and complex.

With gray moving to the forefront in 2009 we will see it being used with many complex neutrals and looking at nature for inspiration is a perfect way to find neutral schemes that are breathtaking rather than boring.

    This is so good. I can’t wait to come back to your site when I have the time to go through it all.
    I list houses for sale and now more than ever buyers will buy based on the feeling they get from the colors on the walls.
    I did when I bought my own home. I fell in love with the colors on the walls. They are a puddy grey, and a greyish white, with a soft teal. Like the colors of my cat.
    Your site is just what I needed.

    Thank you,

    Shirley

    I have a house with brick and siding that I think will go with this color palette quite well. Is there an address that I can send you some pictures of my house for you to take a look at? I would love some advice!

    I’m just starting to prepare to paint my exterior of my house.

    roof- black
    trim windows and house- charcoal grey
    upper part house – light grey

    Ideas of how to add the orange and green in this pallette?
