Somewhere in the realm of pretty greenish blues exists Aqua.

It’s easy to mistake it for turquoise, robin’s egg, or even just plain “blue green.” If you mix and match these shades from time to time that’s alright by me! Aqua is both subtle and bold; it holds its own in a sea of neutrals and it plays well with coral, orange, pink or navy. It’s beachy and it’s icy and 100% lovely.
Here are some fabulous aqua picks for today’s Color Friday. Enjoy!

I just adore the measuring cups and the doormat — and each is less than $50! What’s your favorite aqua find?

Paint It What I Tell You 
What is the name of the paint color in the bathroom? Thanks
Hi Beth,
That looks like wallpaper to me actually…
