WE ASKED THIS MONTH’S CONTRIBUTORS WHAT THEIR FAVORITE COLOR PALETTE IS AND WHY. HERE’S WHAT THEY HAD TO SAY

Rikki Snyder

“I actually really love muted pastels for my personal color palette. It might be because I was born on Easter, but I do find them very calming and airy! I love to use muted pastel blues, greens and pinks as accents throughout my home. It lifts my mood and helps keep things feeling playful yet soothing at the same time.”

ERICK J. ESPINOZA

“My favorite color palette is always changing with the times. This past year as I decorated my house, I was very much into strong and bold colors, leaning toward primary colors but with a twist. I like my yellows with a touch of orange like a sunflower. I like my reds like a postal box. Greens like a British race car. With each project comes a new obsessive color palette! Last year, I did a room with 50 shades of blue/green. Right now, we are working on a project with lots of blue, pink and raspberry, but in a completely modern way. I’m always on a never-ending quest for beauty and inspiration.”

Whitney Mcnell

“As a native of Nantucket, I’ve always drawn inspiration from the ocean hues surrounding us. My love for designing within the coastal color palette runs deep and is prevalent in my designs. By blending genres and bold-clean colors, it’s fun to create a unique palette for every client—my favorite being the marriage of blue and green hues.” Interior designer, “Oh Baby!” page 40, mcnellinteriors.com
