Color & Design
The same swatch reads warm in a south-facing room at noon and cold-gray in a north-facing one at dusk. Light is half the decision, which is why a color that looked perfect on the chip can look wrong on the wall.
This collection is about getting it right before the brushes come out: reading undertones, choosing colors for north- versus south-facing rooms, deciding whether trim matches the walls or contrasts, and building a body-trim-accent scheme that holds together from the curb. There are picks for resale, coastal-home palettes, front-door and shutter colors for the Eastern Shore, and a plain-English take on the HOA color rules that quietly govern a lot of Baldwin County neighborhoods.
