i cannot express how much i love color. i enjoy finding the PERFECT gray — not too dismal, not too khacki, not too blue, but juustt right.
this is why i live by my pantone color books. they live on my desk and i constantly reference them.
of course, my heart skipped a few beats when i saw this video and thought everyone might enjoy it as well {that’s not true, very few of you will actually click on link to a video about how color is made}, but i for one was pretty pumped and had to watch it immediately.

color simply brings everything to life. a few weeks ago i stumbled upon the greatest nail polish color and was simply in love with my nails/toes for several weeks. when it was time to get my nails retouched, the place i usually go to didn’t have my new favorite. i mixed and matched and finally just chose one that was “close”. it was a major letdown. then, in New York with some fun gals this weekend, i couldn’t wait to fix the color mishap on my nails and happily went right in and picked my color. the girls all said, oh, well that’s the same as you have on now, right? WRONG!! i just smiled and said, “You’ll see.”
needless to say, there was a lot of ohhsss and aaahhhhs, because the finished product really was that good and whatever magical combination of color was in this particular mix is genius. it shines in the sun, is flat inside, and all together makes me smile when i look at it. something about it even makes my wedding ring dance a little dance . . .
i’m just sayin.
