Sally Fretwell has graced us with a new book of color inspiration. Her latest book, “Growing Green – A Garden of Natural Paint Colors” was written to share of the natural response she sees invoked by flowers. Let’s face it – There are no bad flowers nor are there bad flower colors!
Sally feels that her books about color are the most helpful to her clients to share the beauty of paint colors. This book contains color forecasting for 2008 including colors perfectly named:
- Adobe
- Sea Oat
- Sea Foam
- Low Tide
- Sea Glass
- Wheat Grass
- Tuscan Tan
- Grey Sands (it looks EXACTLY like the color of wet beach sand!)
- Hibiscus
- Coffee Bean (to describe the inside of the poppy)
The book is mostly pictures of color with sporadic bits of helpful information on colors that will always work for you, low VOC properties of the paint, nature’s combinations and more.
You can read more books from Sally!
