“Can your suggest some color combinations that are both beautiful and unexpected?”
Benjamin Moore “Dollar Bill Green” & “Million Dollar Red”
“It’s a funny coincidence that both paint colors have “money” names, although red it the color of good fortune in Chinese culture. I see them in a room painted this gorgeous deep spruce green with just a rough of the Chinese lacquer red in a side chair or pillows. Forest greens have just a touch of blue undertone, which makes them really work with the red. Red and teal are a more familiar combination, but using the forest free tweaks it to be a little bit more offbeat. Just be sure to keep the proportions right or it may become a little holiday looking.”
