This is an example from a client:
Which colour to choose?
Pink (She LOVED it - He was unsure)
Charcoal (He LOVED it- She absolutely not!)
Sage Green (They were both ok with it but really no-one was in love with it)
Final Decision? A slight change of colour to a grey/pink - very sophisticated, won't date & really works with lots of other elements they had already.
Outcome - very happy family.
