Interior Designers Can Help, Especially with Color An Interview with Color Consultant, Christine Muratore Evans Published in a Monterey, CA paper Color is one of those areas where it's easy to go overboard. Color combination can easily become dated and anachronistic. That's where interior designers can be of great assistance. Christine Muratore Evans, a Chico artist and color specialist who frequently works on the Monterey Peninsula, said that color schemes of the various eras are often faddish and influenced by whoever the popular designer of the day may be. At various times, avocado and orange, hunter green and cream, and dusty rose and gray blue have been signature combination. But "what happens then is the color scheme becomes dated, the 'look of the time' overplayed and connected to the past," said Muratore Evans. Muratore.Evans said she actually encourages the use of color in decorating, and that she often guides clients towards a stronger color scheme than their inclinations. "It is true at times (that) people aren't color literate and then my job switches from consultant to on-the-spot teacher," she said. "I take the time to explain the color theory and association and present strong options to fulfill their goal." If a client truly wants a color scheme that rides through fad and remains classic and ageless, then I'd strongly suggest the input of a professional," she said. "Colors are very strong statements in a home. They should harmonize with the architecture, the residents and the surrounding environment." Muratore Evans also notes that "A classic scheme can allow for fad accents for changes over time, and will always provide a home that is embracing and balanced." Color Consultation fee $75.00 ph |
