This post was inspired by a promotional that I saw offered through Social Designer, a site that is partnering with Martha Stewart to offer a set of colored pencils when you sign up for the program which lasts 20 months and boasts the full spectrum of 500 pencils when completed. Pencil-of-the-month club will get you started for $33.00 for the first 25 pencils and then month-by-month to work your way up to the full spectrum.
I love the idea of owning colored pencils in every color of the rainbow. It’s a mini color wheel in a usable form. I just may join this club…
On that note, let’s talk about using color in Monochromatic color schemes. Also referred to as tonal color groupings, Monochromatic themes are a group of colors that are shades of the same color. The photo shown here displays a soft use of this concept by integrating blue as an accent throughout the room.

Tips:
* Paint the wall one color and the trim another or use more then two of the same tone throughout the room.
* Paint the ceiling in a tone three shades lighter than the walls and trim.
* Add accents like rugs, coverings and art in tones of the same color to complete the tonal theme.
