colors of the month: apron strings and arabesque

Feb 4, 2015 | News

One of the MMS colors for February is Apron Strings, which is a raspberry-coral color, named after Marian’s grandmother’s apron.  Combine it with a variety of finishes to bring out various shades, from light pink to bright coral.

If you hear the word Arabesque,  our other color of the month, you probably recognize it as a ballet term, which naturally conjures up images of ballet slippers and tutus (hence the name).  We must have a thing for painting children’s chairs in these shades of pink!  But this dusty pink is not just for ballerinas and babies…it’s a soft, very neutral pink that’s perfect almost anywhere.

Both colors are very fitting for the month in which we celebrate Valentine’s Day, don’t you think?
