One of the things I learned in a previous life when I worked with many, many designers (I never became one though!) was that white space does not have to be white (and in fact it should probably be called "clear space"). These still say "Late Blossom" to me. My recommendations on the new colours would be espresso, poppy and concord. All the others (imho) are not different enough from what's already there.Ardythhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05307898280046711131noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9008375791436102784.post-6128941298580034292010-07-18T07:50:30.942-04:002010-07-18T07:50:30.942-04:00Susan,
