The Color You Need Now ... Turquoise

"It evokes memories of the beach and summertime." -- Suzanne Kasler, Atlanta designer

• Turquoise has cooling effects, figuratively lowering a room's temperature.

• It's a fashion staple. Always in style, turquoise has recently influenced interior designers with its opaque quality and ability to create impact -- even in small doses.

• Turquoise has good karma. American Indians have long praised the mineral for its spiritual and healing properties.

• It works year-round. Add a shot of hot pink, lemon, or chartreuse, and the look is tropical-chic. In velvet or paired with brown or ocher, it's dramatic.
