In the third episode of “Top Design” the designers were challenged to create a cabana inspired by one of three famous resort locales: Miami, Tahiti, and St. Tropez.
Felicia, Andrea, and Michael were victorious this week with a Tahitian cabana and their choice of a neutral palette while not extremely creative may have spared them the harsh criticism that the other two teams suffered.
When the judges viewed the finished projects Team St. Tropez and Team Miami received low marks largely due to poor color choices. Team St. Tropez built an innovative structure but lost points for choosing a brick red that was too dark and didn’t speak of their exotic beach destination.
The judges also had positive comments about Team Miami’s cabana but couldn’t get past the color scheme of acid green and purple. The judges didn’t see it as a color choice that would be at home among the pastel sherbert hues of Miami and in the end Team Miami lost the challenge “largely due to the horrible color which was your (Elizabeth’s) choice,” said the judges.
Elizabeth’s tearful departing words say it all. “I just wish I didn’t go out with ugly colors”
