Nature's Jewel Tones in Your Garden
A jewel tone is bold (no pastels here) and lends an air of distinction to a space. They bring a scintillating 'Pop' to a garden.
Complimentary jewel tones like amethyst purple and topaz yellow are especially effective.
Jewel tones look great indoors as well...I love this painting and chairs below...
But too much saturation can be overwhelming...You must temper your exuberance a little....
Richness can lead to burn out...but maybe not.
