In case you haven’t noticed–these days, grey is the new black. But black is also back. So with all this grey and black coming from fashion and decor. . . we have got to add a bit of color somewhere from keeping things from getting to dull! One of my favorite shades of the moment to inject into all these dark neutrals? A gorgeously rich indigo blue that’s just light enough to provide a pop of color without it seeming too out of place. . .

The runway example we have comes from Devi Kroell’s Fall ‘09 RTW collection. A well put-together ensemble of simple but classic lines, with almost a deep indigo blue to keep add a luxury. The same can be said for this room featured in Australia Vogue Living. Layers of beautiful greys and touches of black, but just the addition of the throw pillows in blue make it ever so much more interesting. You could also try one of the hottest colors of the moment for fall–a burnt orange–and it would look fantastic.
