I agree with the idea of updating a classic piece with a modern touch to make it all your own..it's the little touches like these that make your home distinctly your own- and of course I'm a big fan of using color to do so. I can't pick a favorite palette, either... there are little bits and touches that I find throughout inspiring. I love the balance of the photos sizes, images and colors on Nate Berkus's site, I adore the touch of purple in the lettering on Nina Campbell's, I admire Amy Lau's choice of Orange as her logo color, the little 'touch' of red from Michael Mckinnon's pocket square... and oh just too many other things to mention.... I love looking at how people use color to convey who they are....and I'm glad so many of you left comments- I really appreciate it!

I was going to submit a favourite palette but I seem to think they are all great and could all be integrated in one room or another. Some colours lend better to certain styles and designs, although I am a big fan of mix matching styles and creating new original ones. For example, taking a traditional piece of furniture and modifying the look by adding a modern touch to create a one of a kind piece.

Great post. I guessed wrong on the sofa in Maria's post - I thought it was yellow beige. I am just an amateur when it comes to this stuff! I honestly had no idea what a complex world of color we all live in, despite the fact that I have dabbled quite a bit in art and have a full understanding of how incredibly difficult it is to mix beautiful, natural looking colors. To me, the most obvious sign of an amateur painter is the garish look of the colors they mix (that, and not understanding how important it is to use many different values in a painting).
