Design snapshot: interior color

Click on this photo to see it in the KHS photo note cards/prints gallery.A rich color palette can transform an interior. I selected this "Mineral" wall color by C2 Paint to play off muted green tones in mosaic glass tile we chose for an adjacent new bathroom in this island home. The "Milk mustache" C2 Paint we used for the trim also brightened the old bureau shown here and an antique mirror frame above it. 

I don't often mention specific products in these posts, but if you're not familiar with C2 Paint, it's worth a look. The C2 color palette is dreamy and, according to the C2 website, it's created from 16-colorant tints, rather than the more standard 12. C2 offers oversize (18" x 24") sample swatches coated with paint, not ink. Or, if you prefer, you can ask for a 16 oz. Color Sampler to paint a test wall at home. C2 carries a Low-VOC line called "C2 LoVo". Turns out C2 has an unusual business model too; it was recently featured in Inc. magazine.
