May Color of the Month

This is HGTV's color of the month for May:


It is a very bright cheerful color. I think to do this color you really have to love blue.  This color would be great for a bathroom, or of course in a little boys bedroom. It is also a really great color to use as an accent, not necessarily for the whole room, and I love this color paired with the crisp brightness of white.

  HGTV'S color of the month for August is Chrome Yellow. While a very bright cheerful color, it can be very overwhelming. I like it as an accent to add a pop of color in a room.
