Tracy from Comfort & Luxury posted her answers to House Beautiful’s quiz from their ‘Color Issue’ which has recently hit the stands, so I took the liberty of tagging myself! Some of you have been tagged so keep reading!
1. What’s the first color you see in the morning? My cream sheers (okay I rent, I would rip down those sheers if this was my house—which it eventually will be, I love it so much).

2. What color are your eyes? Brown (I know my hair is blonde, but my mom has blue eyes and my dad’s are brown, so out of all 4 of us girls, only one sister got the blue ones!)

4. What color do you never wear? Blue Red – it just makes me look [dare I say it] old.
5. What color do you wear when you want to feel sexy? Black.
6. What color gets you the most compliments? Turquoise.

7. What color is your lipstick? I will NOT leave the house without lipstick. So even on weekends when I don’t want to look ‘made-up’ I wear some kind of browny/beige lipstick. Without lipstick, I do not look like me!
8. What color was your living room when you were growing up? Burnt Orange, it was the 70’s.
9. What color was your bedroom when you were growing up? Royal blue damask, flocked wallpaper!
10. What color are your sheets? Cream. I have this idea in my head that [pale sheets]are the softest, I love sleeping in buttery soft sheets!
12. What color is your car? Red
13. What color was your prom dress? Pale Blue (and you will under no circumstances see me in it)!
14. What’s your favorite gemstone? Pearls. (oops I got this confused with birthstone, apparently pearls are not gemstones - I love them anyway)
15. What is your favourite flower? Casablanca Lilies for the scent and tulips. Nothing looks sexier than tulips that are over 3 days old!
16. What color makes you happiest? Sunset Yellow
17. What color depresses you? Any colour in the wrong context can be depressing. When I moved into the house I'm in now, one of the bedrooms was a gray blue and I got depressed just looking at it (I immediately painted it Pale Avocado with BM). However, the same colour on the exterior of a house (fabulous) or in a teenage boys room, with coordinating bedding, etc, great again! Context is everything with colour!
18. What color calms you? Green – I love it in any shade. And I agree with a mantra one of my designer friends used to have “All greens go together”!
19. What color makes you grind your teeth? Pinky Beige – seen too much carpeting in that colour in my design career!
20. What color would you like to try, but are scared to? Well since colour is what I do for a living, it doesn’t scare me. The colour that is the hardest to get right though? Purple.
