A Caribbean palette

I escaped. One week away from the brutal cold temperatures and the winter wonderland I profess to love. (But I do!!) And the best part of it was immersing myself in the warm sea and the Caribbean color palette.

The colors of the tropics are emblematic of the blue green seas of the Caribbean we all love. If you’re going for a Caribbean color palette in your interior it will look out of place if you don’t live in a tropical climate. Bold saturated colors indoors in the Northeast or Mid-West just don’t make sense if you want your interiors to fit into their environment well. Best kept for a Florida home, or accessories you can move around the house based on the time of year. Colors like coral, turquoise, aqua and some pinks make up a Caribbean color palette and are right at home in hot weather locales. Very saturated paint colors in areas where the natural light is low or delicate feel out of place.
