In Living Color

150310_003

How many of us have predominantly black, grey, and white clothing? How many homes have all white walls and neutrals with a “pop” of accent color? We don’t have achromatopsia, so why do we live like we do? Why are neutrals considered more tasteful than active, vibrant colors? 

Did you know that those classic white statues from ancient Rome and Greece were not originally white? They were painted and full of bright gaudy color. I wonder sometimes if the centuries of elevating their pristine monochromatic grandeur are why we are so shy with color in our lives today.

Well, one of the wonderful things about Second Life® is that you can indulge your love of color in a low stakes environment. If you want cornflower blue walls and multicolored cushions and far too many colors for any one to be an accent, you can do it and enjoy all the vibrancy and energy color brings to your life – without worrying about having to spend hours repainting those walls  if it does not work for you. But really,  it will work.

If you want to celebrate color in your home, go to The Arcade and over on the left, look for the Zaara gather where you can find home and furnishings that celebrate color fully. The Zaara house is stunning with rich blue exterior and interior wall and deep emerald green shutters.

My outfit today celebrates color with the multicolor watercolor cardigan which comes with a texture-change HUD. The Gizza pencil skirt comes in several colors and a lovely system top from Leri Miles Design. The top is a red to purple ombre that could have been made for it.

The jewelry is from Kunglers and Zaara and incorporate the colors of the outfit. The hair is from Truth – a new release that is gong to be one of my favorites for a long time. Skin Fair is open and PXL Creations has a fabulous new release – an  entirely new skin line.

I hope today in both your first and second lives, you add some colors to your day. Don’t worry, they don’t bite.
