Beige Walls And:
In the 1960's, ranchers in the United States, Canada, and Scandinavia—the three largest mink-producing areas—were marketing nearly SO different shades, although more than 100 had been leveloped. The basic colors, each of which has nany variations in shade and cast, are standard lark, brown, light brown, silverblu, sapphire, junmetal, pale gray, pale beige, lavender beige, fray taupe, pale brown, and white. In recent years,pale beige types with pink and olive casts also have been developed. The gradations in shade within the color phases are known as stewart and breath-of-spring."This condo used to be a vanilla box with beige walls and carpet," says Loren, whose culinary career includes stints at Tribute, Forte, Opus One, London Chop House and the Money Tree. "I moved here in 1994, but it wasn't until 9/11 that I decided to do something about it. I was stuck in a rut where everything had to match."
Scandinavian schemes are all about simple colour and lots of white, and this room has all that. To gently warm the white furniture and floor, the walls have been painted an off-white that has a touch of beige in it. Interest is added at the windows by curtains in a neutral check -just enough pattern and colour to stop the room feeling bleached out, but not so strong that the eye goes straight to them.
