That’s what we’re doing in this issue focusing exclusively on color! If you’re
flipping through these pages, you must be as excited about it as we are.
We talked to everyone from national paint companies and local designers
to bring you inspirational ideas and helpful tips for incorporating a rainbow
of colors into your home, including which colors work best in certain
rooms, complementary colors that enhance when paired together and, if
you’re afraid to commit to paint, accessories that give your room a hint of
boldness. Orange is my favorite color, so I love Pantone’s 2012 Color of the
Year pick of Tangerine Tango!
Follow along as we explore red, orange, yellow, green, blue and purple —
and their many variations. Think of us as your consultants for a new attitude
toward color. We even took our own advice and painted our new office walls
in Sherwin-Williams’ Peppery (SW6615) shown above. It definitely gets the
creative juices flowing.
Turn the page and start dreaming of your newly invigorated (FILL IN YOUR
DREAM SPACE) today!

Red exudes confidence, energy andstrength, while pink represents asense of calmness, romance andfriendship. Red is the color of loveand passion. According to FengShui, a red front door welcomesprosperity to residents. It’s also thesignature color of Frank Lloyd Wright.
Pink, on the other hand, is morefeminine but just as energetic withoutbeing as aggressive. It offers a senseof happiness and the exhilaratingfeeling of being carefree.
Use as an accent color in artwork, accessoriesor on one wall, or if you want to paint anentire room red, consult a professional to
make sure you pick the right shade.

Top Pick: Burnt Red is energetic but also a return to fundamentals.
This color has a strong folkloric flavor that tells us stories of the
community passed through the generations — it’s a color that
invites lively conversation and smiles. A full palette of red, brown and
cream invite proximity to our friends and family. It’s a needed
contrast to our virtual associations with people. The color feels
friendly, substantial, real.
Best Place to Showcase: THE KITCHEN
A solid, reliable brown; a muted stone neutral; and a
warm, welcoming creamy white.

BURNT RED
“Full of passion and drama, red raises your blood pressure and demands your attention, making it a
fabulous choice for those personalities who want some excitement or to live large and experience life
to the fullest. However, red, the color associated with blood and fire, can still exude a sense of warmth
and intimacy when introduced with warmer neutrals to create a cozy, inviting atmosphere you’ll never
want to leave. But stir in a large amount of white to your red (muted pink), and suddenly the drama of
red dissipates into a serene place of romance where calm rules and stress melts away.”

This contemporary kitchen in a Parkville Colonial, designed by Megan Lynch, AKBD, of
Schloegel Design Remodel, benefits from a dramatic reinterpretation of space and style.
From the beginning, her client said she wanted something bold, but when decision time
came, she tried to take the neutral route with color. “I had to push her to take the leap, and
when she saw it, she said it was unbelievable how much she loved it,” Lynch says.

Updated yet mindful of the period of the home, this Kansas City, Mo.,
guest bath looks crisp and clean in a black-and-white palette with a
striking pop of red. Designer Megan Lynch, AKBD, of
Schloegel Design Remodel, pulled the color
from the bedding in the adjoining room.
Best yet, in partnership with One Week
Bath, the remodel was completed in only
six days, with everything new but the tub.

After a remodel left this space without a purpose, the Fairway homeowners
decided to build it out as a library, but not just any ordinary library. Clay
Lyon, CR, of Lyon Construction + Design, lined three of the four walls with
bookshelves and incorporated a fireplace and mantel, daybed and art
wall. The lady of the home, who loves pink, selected three shades of the
hue. That should get those neurons firing.

The young-at-heart owners of this Fairway residence have a
great perspective on their home and its space, says designer
Elizabeth Goltz, CKD, of Orion Design Inc. After a previous
botched remodel, they got what they wanted in a classy black-
and-white combo personalized with a chalkboard-faced sliding
barn door and a happy burst of orange on a bookcase built
into the back of the island. Committed to the color but in a small
dose, it’s only for the eyes of those who dine at the breakfast

Affectionately called “the jewel room,” this
small sitting room spices up the entry of an
Overland Park home, featuring Benjamin
Moore’s Peachland with a copper metallic,
custom, hand-painted stencil reminiscent of
the East. Appointed with a luxurious daybed,
leather club chair and ‘directional’ rug atop a
tile floor, it’s an inspired space perfect for
armchair traveling. “[The homeowner] wanted
the room to be more dramatic,” says designer
Rena Shanks of Great House LLC. Done.
Complemented by peaceful blue walls and accompanied
by bomber jacket leather chairs, raw woods and
polished pieces, this fireplace surround anchors a
relaxed, natural family room. “The family was hesitant
about using metallics,” notes Jill Tran, IDS, of Tran +
Thomas Design Studio, “but it’s another case of
something you’re leery of at first turning out to be
your favorite feature.” She also designed the mantel —
or lack thereof — to feature metal art pieces.

It represents the young at heart.It’s cheery, joyful and refreshing.Yellow attracts attention, so it’s agood color to use when highlightingimportant design elements. Thoughit’s associated with leisure, it alsohas spontaneous, optimistic andstimulating characteristics whileencouraging communication.
Yellow has the highest light-reflecting value,so it needs to be toned down more than
other colors if used on walls.

While most homeowners in southern Overland Park seem
perfectly content in beige spaces, Kathy Bryles’ clients
love the ocean and wanted their home to feel like a retreat.
The designer at Becky Berg Design chose Benjamin
Moore’s Desert Tan that, technically by name, fits into
that neutral category, but with lots
of windows and colorful fabrics,
it reads a happy yellow. “It’s
a really comfortable room that’s
family-friendly,” Bryles comments.
“It’s a place where memories

Not everyone can handle the tangy bite of
Benjamin Moore’s Lemon Meringue, but
designer Ann Egan, ASID, of Ann Egan

such a bold, saturated color on her living

something that was too close to cream,”
she notes. “The room is big enough to

Egan’s French antiques and makes a
fabulous backdrop to Susan Tinker’s
brightly painted canvas above the
travertine fireplace surround.

A spring breeze swept through this Overland Park
kitchen remodel designed by Kathleen Ramsey,
Allied ASID, of Ramsey Interiors. Her client was not
afraid to use color and especially loves cool colors.
After finding the Hirsch glass tile for the backsplash,
Ramsey focused in on green for the walls and
matched it to Sherwin-Williams’ Easy Green. It’s
toned down by blue drapes and painted cabinets,
but the fresh, fun feel remains.

Refined for a small space like a bath, Benjamin Moore’s Nantucket
Gray makes a big impact. Designer Jan Burket selected this historical
hue for her Mission Hills client. Documented in the 18th and 19th
centuries but relevant for today’s homes, it complements the tumbled
stone and hardwood floors. The cabinets are painted Deep Creek.

You can tell this room is an office,
but look closer and you’ll see it’s
for the younger members of the
family. A bench sidles up next to
the wall so kids can stand and
look at the maps, and the table
folds out for big group projects.
Jill Tran, IDS, of Tran + Thomas
Design Studio, treated the space
to Artichoke by Sherwin-Williams
to maintain a maturity in a room
so close to the front entry
and main living area. “It’s study-
friendly but not silly,” she says.

When Ann Egan, ASID, of Ann Egan
Interior Design, moved to a new home,
she left all her old fabrics behind but
took along her paint color, Benjamin
Moore’s Saratoga Springs. The designer
broke the rule of finding the fabric
before the paint, “but I just loved that
color,” she says. She indeed found fitting
replacements of Fortuny linens that
complete a classical, balanced and
subdued sense of space.
It started with a shirt. Everyone in John
Wolfe’s family liked it, so they took a swatch
into the store and made a custom color
for their mudroom. “It worked well with
the other colors in the house,” says the
homeowner and co-owner of Scovell-Wolfe
& Associates. Specks of the color also can
be found in the granite countertop. The shirt
is long gone, but the color happily greets
the family every time they come in from
the garage.

Transitioning from a nursery to a child’s room
is easy to do with paint (although it may be
emotionally tough for a parent). A neutral gray
befitting a baby made way for a three-
year-old’s love of the ocean. Jill Tran, IDS, of
Tran + Thomas Design Studio, selected Sherwin-
Williams’ Composed, which, she admits, is
bright, but it’s a background only. Tran added
wainscot with a wide ledge for displaying and
playing with toys and a cushy rug that creates a
sense of place to play.

Top Pick: Mystical Purple is a color full of creativity and energy. It
always feels regal, like it transcends all other colors. There is always
something exotic, mysterious and a little bit wild about it.
Dark purple loves ivy green, while pale lilac partners well with mint.
Bright purple is electric when there are touches of lime green, and
olive green with smoke purple works well for a more retro, antique
look. Antique gold or mango orange paired with a dash of vibrant
purple feels like a spice market or street fair.
The combination of aqua, gray and purple is going
strong in today’s home decor market.

You wouldn’t expect a romance novelist to blandly
tell the story of her home, would you? Filled with
natural daylight, a Leawood author’s sunroom
goes bold in Sherwin-Williams’ Concord Grape.
Visible from the great room, it’s a fun way to draw
people in. Designer Keely Bechtel of Madden-
McFarland Interiors says the darker wall color and
natural light balance each other. “We pulled the
color from the rug,” she says, noting also that
the golden furnishings play
well with the strong color.
Clarence House fabrics
give the space an extra
punchy attitude.
Lavender is tough to get right, says Rena Shanks of Great House LLC.
But that didn’t stop her from using Benjamin Moore’s Central Mauve
in her home office bathroom. In fact, she’d wanted the color badly
since remodeling an intensely purple entry out
of her home’s floor plan. “You have to be
careful because it needs an undertone. The
charcoal tiles bring out the blue-gray side,”
she explains. “You can see the color, but
it’s not distinct.”
66 •• KCHANDG.COM
A purple couch? “Why not?” asks designer Jill
Tran, IDS, of Tran + Thomas Design Studio. “It’s a
cool purple, not girly or royal. It’s calm, chill,
masculine even,” she describes. It finds the middle
ground between the cool gray walls and deep
purple curtains, and it’s balanced by wood tones
in the trim and furnishings. And just like paint, if
you decide you hate the color later, “you can
always reupholster,” Tran says.
