  2. Very Disappointed: Not sure what “creative” team is making text content decisions but this thread is No longer interesting, helpful or motivating since the 30% – 40% Discounts have been Replaced by a monthly color selection that is so specific that it never comes close to anything that interests our decor color needs (for paint anyway). We no longer have Sherwin Williams discounts to use so we now have expanded looking at other paint brand selections…

  3. Hello,
    Thank you for sharing this beautiful color combination. It inspired me to do my grandmother’s curio in those color schemes. My curio cabinet looks gorgeous. I do want to make a suggestion that when you do these fabulous contrasting colors they are available when one clicks on the swatch. I had remember the name of the color but I had a little difficulty finding this page. Luckily the email was still in my inbox for reference. Once again, thank you for sending out monthly color inspirations and I hope that in the future the website will be updated to help us color-challenged folks create wonderful projects.
