HUE KNEW

Three industry insiders share their favourite colour stories from projects across the country

Beiges and whites are as much a colour as blues, pinks and greens. It’s obvious right? However, when you ask someone about their favourite colour-filled room in the house they think you are asking for the most vibrant one. But they couldn’t be more wrong. With neutrals gaining as much popularity as bright hues, designers, architects and experts the worldover are happily playing with differnt tones and shades without getting restricted to notional colour families and palettes. That doesn’t mean you can’t pick bright tones. All it means is that you need not restrict yourself. So, we asked three experts for their favourites—one picked a neutral setting, another a semi-neutral space with pops of colour and the third, a bright blue accent wall.
