Most of our hearts go a flutter when we see a butterfly, and happily...butterfly season is upon us. We can’t help but stop and appreciate their delicate energy and beauty. Their colored wings dance through the landscape and enhance it.

Summer is in full swing, and as these days of relaxation are treasured by everyone, it can also be a time for change! Bite into this week’s delectable Color of the Week – Tangerine – and attempt to keep that leisurely feeling with you, even when the warm days are long gone and crisp September arrives. Try this color with hints of Almond Whip and accessorize it with inspirations of Pensive Plum.

Irises are in full bloom in my neighborhood, and on my morning walk I took a few pictures of the blooms that I love so much with my cell phone. I like taking really close ups pictures as it shows the splendor of nature’s mastery at combining colors and textures. It is always a source of inspiration for me and here I combined my pictures and room ideas with color chips.

Red is all the rage on the runways for fall, but we’re getting an early start with the fiery color and switching it up a bit for summer. Pink is the new red – for your walls – and Hint of Cherry is our Color of the Week. Splash it on your foyer wall along with accents of sweet Honeymilk or fresh Ambrosia Mist and we guarantee that you will be “tickled pink” for years to come!

I recently visited amazing Niagara Falls. The colors I found there are not what I would have expected! Warm browns and teals with springtime's bold yellows! Here are some palettes I developed from these surprisingly bold and beautiful colors!

Are you crazy about The Twilight Saga? We certainly are! To celebrate the premiere of the third movie, Eclipse, check out Valspar’s “Twilight-Inspired” color palette.
Obsessed with Bella’s bedroom? The pairing of the green-blue accent wall and purple bedding are perfect complements. Try Salamander 6001-8B on your wall in any well-lit room for the same modern look straight from the series.

Feeling the intense heat of summer? Cool off by using this week’s color choice, Blue Burst, to transform your bathroom into the ultimate Mediterranean escape. This refreshing blue tone is perfect for those seeking something a bit different. Try this color with accents of cool-grey Rising Tide, or if you want to go nautical, a crisp Anthem White horizontal stripe splashed along the vanity wall will do the trick.

Dear Beehive,
I have a large open concept kitchen and family room and it has a lot of white walls. I would like to paint the walls in the "kitchen" area so I can define the space and break up the white.
As for my furniture, I have a black kitchen table and black leather couch in the room.
There are two pieces of art in the room: one that is brown and green and another that has a Cherry Wood finish. (You can see it here.)
I would appreciate any advice. Thank you!
Chris L., Charlotte, NC
