Color Boards

I was looking for something in my big storage closet (always a scary thing!) when I came across this stash of color boards I’d made up a couple of years ago for a talk I was giving on the use of color in interiors. I’d put them away and totally forgot all about them!! But they are so pretty and I thought I should share them with you instead of letting them collect dust!

I have no notes on the sources of the images – so I apologize for that. All the color chips are from Sherwin Williams and were based on their 2006 color palette offerings. But, I don’t think these collected are dated in the least! (click the pics for larger images)
