you can't fool mother nature

it's Not oatMeal.
the Wonderful world of beige, as Nature intended.

 & as interpreted by master designers like Stephen Sills.

I'd say it takes a Master to challenge BEIGE. 

As with Sills-adding another Color from Nature-Bulrush & Grass-makes Beige ViBrate.

Oatmeal topped with Olives?

Layers-with warmth- 
Gradation-with rhythm-

Texture-must be everywhere.

Studio Peregalli

Calculated Beige.

With Repetition & Geometry beige is more than just palatable-

It can conceal- only to reveal that -

It is Complex.

What might first appear simple-even mindless-is far from it. 

Look deeper and one can see grids,roads, rivers, cities,
& Home.

& Barry Dixon

As with the great chambered Nautilus-
Beige must have Shadow-Light & Dark
Scale-

Beige is not for the faint of heart.
