Using weird in your home
Use Weird colors in powder rooms, studies, mudroom doors, bar cabinets, or a bookshelf back where strangeness has a boundary. North light can make Rainy Brine feel colder. South light warms Acorn and olive yellow notes. Pair with off white trim, putty, black, walnut, or plain linen. The warning is resale gray nearby. Flat gray floors can make these colors look accidental.
