Color Scheme

5/11/2018

OK, I know this is trivial, but color is very important to us painters. So from the beginning we've been discussing what color to paint the inside of the house (exterior, currently a desaturated pink, will have to wait). Window trim is/will be white.
​Kid.02 likes faded, sandy colors and suggested these (the brown is the color of the floors):

When you live in the city there are lots of colors everywhere you go, which we normally don't even notice. In the country, going outside in the desert means beige and blue in the daytime. I think that's why dusk and dawn are so amazing there. And night is inky dark. I've only experienced living in a minimal color palette a couple times before, in the redwoods of Northern California (green and purple, a combo I find depressing), and in Turkey where the desert colors are also stark.

I like the greens, because the desert has so little greenery. And restrained use of intense colors like the fuchsia, for the same reason.

Yes, I need some relief inside the house. But I have to convince Ted of green, which is not his favorite.

    Anna does most of the writing. Ted does most of the photos. But sometimes we switch. We are repairing a distressed property in 29 Palms, California, and eventually hope to run an artist residency there.
