Depth of Color
- For those who find the color's reddish pop especially irresistible, coral walls are not out of the question. Huttig and design partner Mimi McMakin have completed several such projects. "We've used the color in living rooms with a double-comb glaze treatment. It has an amazing depth, with some of the underlying color showing through," Huttig says. "We've also used it on tray ceilings and then calmed it down with an overlaid white trellis pattern."
