My new linoeum floor

Looks like a solid job! Congrats on a job well done. There's plenty of color options to coordinate with that primary color! Have fun with it. Will be interesting to see the final product!

Earlier in this thread, Steph said " I have absolutely no sense of what colors don't go together! ", and there have been other comments about colors, and how to choose them. I will pass on a tip my granny gave me, and that has always served me well. She told me to look at a rainbow, and always chose colors to match that are adjacent in the rainbow. The rainbow color sequence is red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, violet. ( Richard Of York Gained Battles In Vain!) . So red will go with orange, yellow with green, green with blue, blue with indigo, and indigo with violet. On the other hand, be wary of non-adjacent rainbow color matches, such as red with green, or orange with blue. This is obviously not a hard and fast rule, but it has served me well as a basic guide. I pass on this bit of folklore for those who are interested. Nick.

I guess I will have to throw away my entire red and green Christmas collection.

Yule be glad that you did......... No sacrifice is too great on the altar of good taste. On the other hand, to avoid waste, you could try spraying all your holly berries with blue paint. Nick
