Accent Colors   Page 18

Accent colors are a wonderful decorating tool. And I've included one in every palette because I've seen over and over how using an accent can be the finishing touch on a room. While the illustrations show a traditional definition of accents — a detail that is emphasized by contrasting with its surroundings — accents can also be used in bolder forms. For example, instead of using an accent for the piping on your pillow, you may want to cover an entire wall with one. In fact, one of the dictionary definitions of "accent" is simply a distinctive but subordinate color. Keep this latter definition in mind as well as you decorate.
