The current issue of House Beautiful gives a delightful nod to the varied hues of blue. Polls indicate it is the favored color of most. I am unable to pass by blue myself, whether for a wall color or a design accessory or blue hydrangeas from the garden in summer. In the meantime, what with winter lingering for a bit longer, I pulled out Carolyne Roehm's book, A Passion for Blue and White, to garner some inspiration. Blue is soothing in its purity, by injecting a bit of yellow into it, or knocking it down to a grayed, muted tone. Got my eye on Sherwin-Williams Comfort Gray and Oyster Bay . . .
