Board #236: Charcoal & Cyan

Apparently gray is the accent color of the year, but I'm not sick of it yet! I love the way it looks here - both charcoal and dove gray - paired with pale pale blue. Something so sophisticated about it...

Mood: sweetly refined
Palette: charcoal, cyan, dove gray

Update! This photo that Chelsea shared with me is just perfect for this gray and blue palette.

Don't do this to me! All I can decide on is having charcoal/pewter as my main color - the accent color keeps changing! Peach, ivory, gold, pale pink, and now aqua? Sigh. It's all gorgeous.

beautiful!
I usually see grey paired with yellow, pink, or blues...my favorite colors are grey & lime green but I'm not sure they will work...what does everyone think?
I'm wondering if you could do a charcoal, lime & white board?

It's not lime green, but it gives you an idea...

I asked my friend why her colors were gray and cream. She said "gray is the color of my heart and cream is the color of his love". Whatever that means...
