Chinatown Loft The vibrancy and diversity of Victoria's Chinatown past and present is celebrated in this bold palette. COLOUR SAVVY: Don't paint just one wall in an accent colour. Think about wrapping it onto two walls instead. In an open space, find several different areas where it would make architectural sense to add an accent colour. Balancing out the use of colour will add a sense of harmony to your space. Mermaid Tail Sterling Spoon Roar Avocado Shake Move beyond white with STERLING SPOON. This warm, pale-gray can be used on both walls and ceilings to open up a small space. ROAR is a perfect orange to pair with grey. It's a great accent colour and would also look fabulous in a kitchen combined with dark-wood cabinetry. MERMAID TAIL is a deep blue-green that takes its cue from Pantone's colour of the year, emerald green. AVOCADO SHAKE is a retro yellow-green that's not for the faint of heart, but if you want a funky accent colour, this one will do the trick.
