Color Roundup: Soft Blues and Blue Greens

Posted on October 15, 2012 by Linda

Soft blues, blue greens, and gray blues on walls, fabrics, cabinetry and furniture never fail to please. These colors can instantly put you at ease.  Here’s a roundup of some of my own designs…plus selected images from the web that feature these hues.
