Sunny Florida Shines with Color Palettes

This blog entry was written by Veronique Habermann and Michele Coppin

On an early, gray Saturday morning, we left New York for a well-deserved spring break. A few hours later, at the sunny Sarasota airport, we were surprisingly greeted by Jack Dowd’s colorful artwork – Andy 15 Times…a perfect beginning to our color inspired vacation.

Here we are, in beautiful Anna Maria Island. After a few days of relaxation and catching up on lost sleep, our passion for inspiring color combinations took over once again and we were off exploring the island on bicycles, with palettes in mind – on the look out for inspiration from Florida’s unique approach to color. Here are some examples of color schemes that inspired us:

Color of the Week

  • Star Gazer 4008-8B

    Star Gazer is a warm, mid-deep blue that can be used effectively in small doses. This color would look terrific on an accent wall behind a bed. A warm khaki such as Plum Passion or Dry Earth would support this color nicely.

    Paint with this color

    The appearance of Valspar's iconic paint chip design is a trademark of Valspar.
