A trivial point of view...


What a divine image! That turquoise works so well with the lemon. It's funny, I much prefer 'lemon' over yellow... Despite the fact my husband would argue they are exactly the same! Kind of like 'tangerine' and orange! Ah the trivialities of colour and prettiness. Have a lovely Sunday everyone. Kellie xx

    lemon to me seems more bright and fresh than just "yellow"

    Lemon is cleaner. I tend to think yellow contains more red undertones.
    The image just screams flirty chic.
    Have a flirty Sunday!!!

    I think naming our colors helps us distinguish the differences in the shades of the colors:) Tangerine has more reds than orange:)

    Much like your husband, I am color myopic. Once you explain it to me I can see it though. :D

    No worries about the party. It was really fun. I totally understand how real life puts a crimp on our blog lives sometimes. ;)

    I would have to agree lemon is by far a prettier colour .... and yeah I've had the magenta is not hot pink conversation a few times myself! lol .... the turquoise works so well here with this and the gold handles really helps with this! the wallpaper is to die for and the citris tones this lemony gold has is très spéciaux !

    ...agree 100%. I know I would prefer a blush coloured dress (slighlty softer tones) to a peach coloured dress! Lemon all the way too.
