Color Me Monday: Jump for Juniper

Sometimes I like a color so much—like one of our newest, Juniper—that I want to make it jump on my artwork. One of the best ways to make a favorite color pop is by pairing it with low-key neutrals. The neutrals provide background and balance, but let your focus color have the limelight (or in this case, the “Juniper light”!). Notice that the overall impression of each one of these pieces of artwork is Juniper—yet they don’t feel monochromatic at all! It’s a great trick of the eye, and although they don’t take center stage, Vanilla Cream, Bamboo, and Desert Sand really are the stars of the show: you can use these three musketeers to showcase any favorite color. All for one and one for all!
