I think I'm in a tiny minority among home design aficionados, but I'm a big fan of teal -- unfortunately the same teal as the Wives' clothing in The Handmaid's Tale TV series. I feel like teal is an unpopular choice but I'm always drawn to it.
@@channamasala1 depends on the teal I guess. I find it incredibly hard to find the right colours to pair with teal. the wives teal was beautiful but I have a retro teal couch and I find it soooooo difficult to figure out what other colours to pair it for cushions or anything else in the room. teal somehow grabs a litle too much attention or something?
This is super helpful, thank you! I also used to paint a lot but still struggle with finding a color palette that feels right and is working in a minimalist space. I like "autumn" colors that are a bit subdued but no pastels. However it's difficult to make it feel coherent with limited items, when I incorporate all the colors that are in my favorite scheme. A side note, I know that's very individual, but I personally struggle listening to your voice with the background music in this video. I think it might be more difficult for me because of the type of music and the volume, is a bit too dynamic and competes with your voice (for my ears). I personally almost exclusively watch videos without any background music because of sensory overload. I understand others might feel that it's more engaging without music, I just wanted to share my perspective 😊
I'm a color intuitive. I've worked as a color consultant. All the technical stuff in this video is totally confusing to my right brained brain. I just look at a color and understand it to the point where, when manufacturers colors don't work as expected, I just head off to the paint store and buy whatever color I need to adjust the problem color to where I want it. BTW, Home Depot "color matching" is useless. I assume it's the same for all the color matching services. I purchased paint for all the woodwork in my house from the close out table and ran out. When I had HD "color match" it, the machine "matched" color was a chocolate brown (too red) vs the original which was an umber brown (charcoal brown). After more than 15 trips back to HD for adjustments with the endlessly patient paint dept. person (who happened to be the ONLY paint dept. employee with any inkling of color mixing), I gave up. I ended up purchasing 3 different colors of premixed paint, went home, mixed them up and VIOLA!!!, I had an exact color match to the original color. Based on my experience, the easiest way to pick a color is to buy an 8oz sample, paint 2'x2' (or larger) squares on EVERY wall in the room, then look at the samples at various times throughout the day and under different lighting conditions. It's not a guarantee, but it should get you close. Even with this technique, I've had (many) failures. The issue is that when you paint a whole room, the color bounces off the various surfaces and intensifies, so it's not gonna look exactly like the samples. If you don't understand color, either experiment till you get it right or hire someone to figure out the colors for you. Color is a science. Technology is NOT a substitute for a knowledgeable human - but even with a human, expect it to be painful. I watch lots of decor videos and pretty much all of the presenters, amateurs and professionals alike, talk about the color mistakes they make. It's part of the territory...
color really is a lot, and i think it's impossible to not fail miserably when you're starting to work with color lol 🤣 i've seen the color matching work before, so i think it's always worth a shot if there's a very specific thing you like the color of, but yeah, definitely not a guarantee
I dislike the newer intro tagline about "girls gays and theys" -- even though I am in that subset, I would hope this could be inclusive to men. (Trans guys, bi curious, etc.). I love how accessible you generally are and love your focus on anti-capitalism without falling too deeply into "we live in a society" discourse.
I fear you’re falling into the “we live in a society” discourse bc there are non-binary ppl who don’t use they pronouns.. however, they (or x or *insert pronoun*) probably know they’re included with directly getting a shoutout in the tagline. They don’t have to list everyone in the lgbt+ umbrella to be inclusive. It’s actually impossible and many bi people identify with being “gay” anyway. Maybe they’re a she/they gay! Like it’s not that deep. You won’t get very far demanding men have inclusivity lol, look into the patriarchy a bit since you’re feeling anti capitalist.
I like the intro, I like how forthright Medora is in making content for marginalized communities that are gonna get more marginalized in the coming years. I would hope that trans men know that they are also included, and that straight cis men are gracious enough to not be offended by the lack of inclusion

i hadn’t thought about it that way, thanks for mentioning that. i’ll do some discernment about that 👍
Same for straight women...
@@jekalambert9412 I'm assuming straight women would fall under the 'girls' category .................
