Gray and Yellow for Baby
By Sarah | October 28, 2009
I’m in love with the idea of a gray, yellow, and black color scheme .
This is such a great translation to a nursery…
We’ve been very fortunate to receive a lot of free furniture pieces for the nursery from our family and friends. I love dark woods. So for the pieces that are light wood I’m going to want to paint. I think of some bright pops of color accenting off gray walls in the room would be pretty cool. How cute would hot pink accents be for a girl…
I like how pink works in these nurseries with the greys and yellows. Its “girly” without being over the top. I can’t handle a pretty pretty princess all pink room at this point.
And for a boy I could always go for the blue, green, and orange accents off grayed down walls. I feel like this may be a way to have a cool boys room without being boxed in by the limited number of “boy” themes.
And this is all just one line of color thought. I have so many more circling my brain. What do you think, any favorites? Could it really work for a boy or a girl?

I just saw an article about this…..somewhere…. if I see it again I will link it to you. Anyway, the article was saying that dark rich colors work really well for either boys or girls - colors like plum or emerald green. Coupled with light-medium gray walls and a few bright accents (lime green or orange!!) would be so cool…classic but fun and so easy to go retro or modern or almost anything you want.
In my opinion. =)
Congratulations, by the way.
