It’s February, and love is in the air! And since it takes two to tango, our color for this month was inspired by love, a dynamic duo in the color world, pink and orange. We chose Sherwin William’s Coral Reef and Saffron Thread for our picks.
This color couple is a powerhouse, and while it may seem like an unlikely pair, we often find this combo nudged together by mother nature. She knows how to show us great colors to combine. Take the day lily, for example, such a great example of how well orange and pink look together.
Design inspiration: We love the Palampore Ashoka Fabric in pink and orange by Schumacher Fabrics.

Let’s not forget about nature’s canvas, the sky. There is incredible beauty and color in the sunrise and sunset, with vibrant pink, orange, and yellow shades on the horizon. It’s like nature’s curtain opening and closing each day.
(Arizona has some of the greatest sunsets, thank you AZ State Parks for the Image)
Design inspiration: We love this pink and orange bedroom. You can see how the designers anchored this strong color combination with white and earthy tones.

When in doubt about using color, follow Mother Nature; she is the best guide.
