Decor Trends - Some Lemon Sortbet anyone?

Lemon sorbet  is not just a refreshing palate cleaner but has also been named 2013 paint color of year by Benjamin Moore. I was mildly surprised when I came across this information as color and home decor trends have been moving on to richer, jewel tones in home decor like 'emerald green', Pantone's color of the year. I love yellow as a wall paint and use it  my own home and my main reason for choosing this color was that I wanted something that reallybrightens up my home. 
A Versatile Color
Lemon Sorbet is a color that suits many kinds of decor styles, its great strength is it versatility. It is a light pastel shade means that it is the perfect back drop for bold colors and dark furniture that is a part of tradition design. It is also perfect for modern homes as it pairs well with light colors too. As home decor trend , the color is elegant and timeless.
 
Ways to Add it to your home
This color is  perfect for walls as is a great back drop .  You can then add elements to color to create the perfect atmosphere you want in your home. Lemon Sorbetcan be used in a toned-down manner to create a serene and relaxing space with a combination of pastels and other light colors.  It can be used to create a beautiful coastal atmoshphere when paired with blue.

 This color can also be jazzed up with pinks, blues and other rich dark colors. It really makes the perfect canvas for these colors and shows them off perfectly.
