So...when I hit upon this charming feature in <a href="http://www.styleathome.com/homes/interiors/interior-functional-family-home/a/29016" target="_blank">Style At Home</a>, I immediately fell for the color combos here.  All these citrus pops work so well with the neutral background.  For me, this helps to illustrate what I already suspected...all the brights I've been craving in my wardrobe will work just fine as long as I pair them up with some neutrals.  Some might prefer brights with brights, but for me in order to be comfortable, I need more of a balance of colors in <i>both</i> decor and fashion.<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjeF0SB_jHWURprgsqEjDqBsHNCNUuE7HBsInLPhaLfHlmEdUISPiMnNxJlU0D_-a53LxQC-SXhi4POy_nnQI3vizgMXtc1Ho2Ia3ktZgbuHE9RqlhOyRNQHWuRyCQLETr18x0POvqKWQLR/s1600/Picture+547.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjeF0SB_jHWURprgsqEjDqBsHNCNUuE7HBsInLPhaLfHlmEdUISPiMnNxJlU0D_-a53LxQC-SXhi4POy_nnQI3vizgMXtc1Ho2Ia3ktZgbuHE9RqlhOyRNQHWuRyCQLETr18x0POvqKWQLR/s1600/Picture+547.png" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgZTxfeno-Lh_BAYSZPbY5J0-SEvuyA_EuJsZf1oVRo_MlxxaTJTOdyMaZw507O5-37lkpxsydwaYUZdjZGAgMFD5Ih1KRuz1bkx4dBxL2dyt_OIt02SaIcojwmpDuoW5lJ8cG-NjFIgWBZ/s1600/Picture+556.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgZTxfeno-Lh_BAYSZPbY5J0-SEvuyA_EuJsZf1oVRo_MlxxaTJTOdyMaZw507O5-37lkpxsydwaYUZdjZGAgMFD5Ih1KRuz1bkx4dBxL2dyt_OIt02SaIcojwmpDuoW5lJ8cG-NjFIgWBZ/s1600/Picture+556.png" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjlGAt5kml2g9mHBsOKFFo6-0fjnlIYKc-A8muCXtNNirAAd3F_4ZEbcX7Kg8PsmGMECbOuxWWG41-QYEJ0b8UACkg8i5MbhO2h1DidZaCbUfiKBfUCsTEAG8WpPpKfYMk6ZER5oZrzhOfF/s1600/Picture+561.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjlGAt5kml2g9mHBsOKFFo6-0fjnlIYKc-A8muCXtNNirAAd3F_4ZEbcX7Kg8PsmGMECbOuxWWG41-QYEJ0b8UACkg8i5MbhO2h1DidZaCbUfiKBfUCsTEAG8WpPpKfYMk6ZER5oZrzhOfF/s1600/Picture+561.png" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjMsy9Z3BsF1mGuI6OrvnshdRg-iKQLnHlAr5JXii_jrUMVhAiywULJLfnv-kYROvkXwhFVkuym1oJPANVI0cE1kATOkH4llvmSVBnzO5Bt4MCzuXo8TYibj2JZ2dYy5hQ7r4j1dZm6LmhA/s1600/Picture+559.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjMsy9Z3BsF1mGuI6OrvnshdRg-iKQLnHlAr5JXii_jrUMVhAiywULJLfnv-kYROvkXwhFVkuym1oJPANVI0cE1kATOkH4llvmSVBnzO5Bt4MCzuXo8TYibj2JZ2dYy5hQ7r4j1dZm6LmhA/s1600/Picture+559.png" /></a></div><br /></div>

For me, it's really more of a gut reaction, and even this can change quite often.  However, there are some style constants in my life. I know without a doubt that I prefer white kitchens, regardless of the actual design era it's designed in.  I love the clean, pristine calm that only a white kitchen can deliver.  Of course I can appreciate other types and colors in kitchens when done well...I just know for my life, a white kitchen works best.  And, while it's a pretty broad category, maybe even a stretch...it's one of the few decor aspects that I can confidently claim without feeling fickle or waffling, ever.
