the color of friendship

Colors can agitate, colors can make you hungry, feel more romantic, make your food taste better, help you learn, wake you up or help you sleep.

It's important for everyone to agree on a color in a house. This makes it more difficult the more people live in a space.

One of my clients had a beautiful painting in their living room that they loved. She asked me to come over and select a color for the walls. She had selected some peach colors already feeling that it highlighted the flowers in the painting. I reached for my paint deck to begin the process. However, she stopped me and asked me to choose from the colors she had chosen. I selected the best of those and she painted it that weekend.

Very soon afterwards, her roommate stopped talking to her. Several months later, the roommate finally divulged that she just couldn't stand the peach walls, that she hated it and it was the source of their lack of communication. My client remembered that I wasn't in love with the peach color she had selected, and asked me to come back. We looked through my paint deck and found a calmer, softer gold color that actually highlighted the painting even more than the peach had. The room was painted that weekend and their relationship was back on the path to healing. They started talking again and it was a much happier household.

It's very important to select colors that make people feel good and encourage them be more at ease in their environments. If there's peace at home, it's easier to go out into the world. If home is crazy, it makes facing the outside world much harder.
Embrace some color and see how many friends you can make.
