Cocoa Berry color story Giveaway

Congratulations!
Sally
you're the winner of last week's 
  please email your name and street address to:
info@michaelmillerfabrics.com

Now for today's color story:
The anchor color for this story is a deep rich chocolate brown. This warmer version of black makes all colors next to it sparkle and pop.
It's considered a basic today but around 2005 it was considered the radical  new "black".  Also, in case you're wondering, it's a trend that started on the streets of Paris - specifically with brown and pink. It sounds so silly now but it caused quite a stir, suddenly the new trend was causing a rise in handbag and shoe sales (after all you couldn't be caught wearing black shoes with brown pants!)  It also meant one more thing to think about when packing a suitcase- black pants? brown pants? 2 pairs of shoes?  decisions, decisions....
(that's one reason my purse is black and brown)


Now that brown is the accepted norm we're starting to see "white" as the "new" color to throw in the mix.
All the colors on this bed accentuate the others.

Now for today's color story:
You could call this color story neutrals but I think there's so much more to it. This is the one story that really speaks to the time we're living in.  In rocky times it says stability.  It's solid but not stodgy.  It's the wise investment in pieces that will never go out of style.  It's  the palette that can be cutting edge new or just plain edgy.
as we speak these just landed in my mailbox
 personally I think to make this palette work, it's all about the contrast between the shades. If I want a combination to "pop" and not look drab it's my preferred tweaking technique. But then again that's personal.
note the cream "almost white" in these.  Trust me it's intentional.
 What's your thoughts on this timely yet timeless color story?
