Opinions for Exhibit Please

| I've done something stupid! While discussing wall colours with the promoter of next month's show, I had a notion that 'leaf green' would be lovely, although I had always had deep green walls. Now, leaf isn't a bad colour by any stretch. It's just that my table coverings and various tabletop cases were made for the dark green walls and will look like hell against a leaf wall. What can I put with 'leaf' that contains no yellow (therefore, no creams or orangey reds) and is a fairly strong contrast but not hideous? Blue-based deep red? Eggplant? Chocolate? Other?
Please see http://www.stacyexposervice.com/pagecolors.html for an idea of what 'leaf' looks like. Scroll down to the swatch, 'leaf' is #70. No, basic black doesn't work, I tried. Help. Please. |

| Aubergine, umber, cobalt blue, black and white....but not all at once! LOL! |

| I was going to suggest khaki till I saw your sample. That's an olivey looking green on my monitor. Agree aubergine or an eggplant would be a nice contrast color. I did some quick doodles with your sample.
I can add more if there's something you'd like to see.
(Hopefully it renders OK on your monitor)

| I have Italiano Rose in my space at the antique mall, and it looks great w/greens, blues as well as many other colors. ;o) |
Here is a link that might be useful: Behr paint

| moonshadow, that was a great idea! It helped me to decide the best course. Here's what I plan to do: I'm taking thin tape-about a half cm width or less, and laying it on in widely-spaced vertical stripes. I think that the deep burgundy would look good, with table covers to match. I will take pictures after the exhibit is completed.
Thanks for the ideas, everybody! |

Glad it helped you out, harebell. ;)
Sounds like it's going to be a really pretty space, would enjoy seeing pics of it! |
