I recently spent a few rainy days in Paris being inspired by the subtle shades of the doors of small glittering cafés and the grand entrances of little palaces.

Gray skies have a way of bringing out what I call “indecisive” colors, revealing their depth and beauty in muted weather.

Woodlawn Juniper 5001 – 4B	Lime Kiss 6008 – 9A	Carolina Inn Club Aqua 5004 – 3B	Desert Hot Spring 6008 – 5C

These subdued and delicate colors are emphasized by the soft palettes of the typical sandstone walls.

Sienna Red 3011 – 7	Pirates Treasure 3006 – 5B	Woodlawn Lewis Gold 3005 – 7C	Carolina Cross Road Gold 3008 – 6A

Hubbell House Tamarisk 6004 – 5C	Gloaming Green 6001 – 7B	Gleeful 6008 – 7B	Ancient Scroll 3008 – 8B

Sometimes antique and new join to create a sharp, edgy and elegant effect.

Michele: I love your categories, esp. the "indecisive colors"! Wonderful way to translate those rainy day colors. I do think the doors of Paris, and really anywhere in France, are so unique...and inspiring. When you compare them to the doors here in the U.S....well, there IS no comparison. Thanks for this!
