Color is one of the most nuanced elements in any design, and the English language doesn’t make it easy.

Every room needs bold or dark color to feel balanced and grounded. But, choosing colors for your home is a huge undertaking, and it isn't made any easier by how intimidating bold or dark colors can be.
