Better Home and Garden's latest magazine hits newsstands on March 18th and features one of my favorite topics -- Color Palette of the Year! Here's what the chief editor has to say, followed by the corresponding colors that the magazine have picked:
"We can all use a little more color in our lives, and vibrant, on-trend color is exciting to try,"says Gayle Butler, Editor-in-Chief, Better Homes and Gardens. "Our Color Palette of the Year brings readers a collection of the most on-trend colors that translate beautifully into real homes and rooms. Our collection of seven hues offers unlimited possibilities to find a look and make it your own."
