More jewel tones for your Garden

Jewel tones are rich colors that resemble gemstones including emerald green ( 2013 color of the year),amethyst purple, ruby red, topaz yellow, sapphire blue, tourmaline green, and turquoise blue.

A jewel tone is bold and lends an air of distinction to a space. They bring a scintillating 'Pop' to a garden. Complimentary jewel tones like amethyst purple and topaz yellow are especially popular.

Jewel tones look great indoors as well...I love this painting and chairs below...

But too much saturation can be overwhelming...You must temper your exuberance a little....

I mean, isn't the table above a little intense? Richness can lead to burn out...
