Dwell, the magazine dedicated to modern design and eco-friendly living has created four distinctly chic color palettes using Ralph Lauren paint. With their modernist audience in mind, founder Lara Hedberg Deam begins the series with colors inspired by the master of modern himself- Corbusier.
Based on the revolutionary Le Corbusier- Polychromie architecturale, the first palette follows the idea of using 2 or more distinct colors and letting light determine where to use warm or cool colors within a room.

Using Relay Red as the focus color, Deam picks 3 other colors that she believes will easily play off of it’s rich saturated hue.
The next 3 palettes will be introduced throughout the year…I’ll let you know when I spot them. To hear all about her inspiration and get a quick lesson in Corbusier’s color theory check out this video:
