Monet Soleil, a take on the name of my property, Mon Soleil, is, as you might imagine, the yellow of Monet’s dining room at Giverny. |
|
Giverny Blue was taken from the clear bright blue used in Monet's dining room. |
|
| Giverny Green is inspired by Monet’s exterior window trim, shutters, steps and railings at Giverny. | |
Mykonos Blue is that vibrant cobalt blue you see used for trim on the bright white stucco homes in Greece's Mykonos Islands. |
|
Mykonos Red is often found used as a door and sometimes trim color for white stucco homes in Greece's Mykonos Islands. |
|
Monteverde was inspired by one of the many verdant greens found in Costa Rican rain forests. |
|
| Del Sol is another yellow that is deeper and more orange than Monet’s yellow, inspired by the brilliant golden yellow of the Mediteranean sunshine. | |
