I originally saw this color combination when I was home in November. I was thumbing through the Pottery Barn catalogue when I happened upon this stunning juxtaposition:
a stormy bluish gray topped by a subtle golden yellow, accented with black-and-whites in black or wooden frames
What a feast for the eyes! I look forward to the time when I can don a nook or entryway in my future home with this palette. Until then I will lay it out here.
Martha Stewart has such bodacious names for her paint colors. So, as you feast upon the picture above, I will aid your imagination with her color names:
 |
| GABARDINE noun, a smooth, durable twill-woven cloth, typically of worsted or cotton; a raincoat made of such cloth |
 |
| So that's a gabardine. Evidently gabErdine with British spelling. |
 |
| YELLOW MAGNOLIA noun, a flowering ornamental tree native to the Himalayas | | | |
|
 |
Not a good color match, in my opinion. But it sounds nice.
