Always clean
and refreshing, blue-green reflects the calming influence of
blue, with just a bit of warmth from its other parent, green.
Even so, blue-green can be cold and uninviting unless it's combined
with warm, complementary colors such as terra-cotta, coral or
cantaloupe, or analogous greens and yellow-greens. Over large
areas, grayed blue-green is easier to live with; intense, tropical
versions work best as accents. Blue-greens have a prominent place
in the history of interiors. Greenish turquoise has long been
popular for painted wood furniture. Williamsburg blue, a staple
in Colonial palettes, is greener and brighter than previously
thought. In the Federal period, apothecary blue, a pale blue-green,
was in vogue. |
