ing with green gives an im-
pression of continuity be-

-tween the inside and’ out-

side worlds. What is more,

with different shades of
blue.

Orange is a. warm, inti-
mate, welcoming color. It is
the symbol of vitality and
joviality. Orange is the
warmest hue in the color
spectrum; it is. therefore
suited. to smaller spaces
only. Use it sparingly or
choose shades that tend to-
ward red, brown or yellow.
Save bright shades of or-
ange for highlighting.

Violet is the. color- of
dreams. It combines. the

‘ depth of blue and the power

of red. Violet is associated
with opulence, royalty and
religious ceremonies. In its
lighter shades, it evokes ro-
mance and sensuality. Keep
your eyé on violet. :
