Bright 'N' Cheerful
-
Why we love it: There's something quite cheerful about aqua yellow. However, the combo isn't so high-voltage that you'll tire of it quickly. Mix in cool, grayish whites and pale greens for variety.
Where it works: These colors are best for brightening up small spaces, such as a sunroom.
For big impact: Paint or paper walls in yellow, using a grayish white semigloss paint on the trim. Add turquoise accents with lamps or pillows.
For a small dose: Hang turquoise and yellow towels in a neutral bath. Or arrange bright yellow flowers in aqua vases along your mantel.
