What’s all the buzz about bees this week?? Seems it has been studied and determined that they can discern between blue and yellow in order to prove they can perform remarkable arithmetic.

Last fall while hiking in Boulder, I spied this little fellow on a cornflower.

Yes, it’s official – they can distinguish colors – blue and yellow – in order to prove their math skills! Want to know more? You can immerse yourself in the study here:

In our source library at PATRICIAN DESIGN, we have hundreds of fabric samples from designers all over the world…these little iron bees were irresistible for our purposes today!!

Blue and yellow as a color palette is classic. I never tire of it. I find myself encountering it often. Blue and white…often punctuated with yellow. It transcends styles.  

Color schemes are the basis for so many design related exercises.  Finding your color preferences for your lifestyle from clothing fashions to interior appointments – it’s about personality, temperature, lighting…

Here’s a great link to get you thinking about color palettes or finding one that suits your personality.

Undecided? Change schemes from one room to the next – have a little fun!
