Color is a HUGE part of my life. Today, I’d like to share this Benjamin Moore pale yellow with you: Kansas Grain.

It’s soft, like the morning sun just popping out. It’s a reminder to start your day slowly and softly; there is no rush. When choosing colors for clients, I find it helpful to explain why I choose the colors I do.

Sometimes clients think we pull colors out of our “top tens” and use them repeatedly; sadly, some designers do this. I like to take it one step further, explain why I gravitate toward color and give a little storyline. This way, when the home gets painted, hopefully, that story of the “morning sun” will be a thought for the homeowners to remember. An excellent way to choose a paint color, don’t you think?
