Color Combo Obsession
{ via Jayson Home & Garden.}
Mustard*, Magenta, Peacock Blue, Cream & Tan.
Amazing combo!
Ah the rooms I could design around this color combo. Love the suzani as well. Too bad it’s a bit out of my price range.
What’s your favorite color combo of the moment? All of mine have mustard* yellow thrown in the mix!
*Must find a new name for this word. It makes the color sound so yucky.

ON THE BLOG
My living room is one of the rooms that evolved drastically from when we first moved one. Originally I painted the walls chocolate brown and did accents of white, blue and orange. That lasted maybe 2 years.
Our dining room sat empty for months. Okay maybe it was empty for just a handful of weeks and then we couldn’t take it anymore and put in a folding table and plastic outdoor chairs, but in my mind that was still empty.
On the main floor of our house we have a Florida room. Being that it’s a Florida room it is a considered a 3 season room, because there is no heat in the room. The previous owners used it as an indoor patio with outdoor furniture and it looked like this when we moved in.
How about goldenrod?
Since you are the queen of DIY, you could make your own suzani with any color combo from felt:

Oh goldenrod. We are getting better. I don’t even eat mustard so everytime I say it/type it I get grossed out a bit. Totally obsessed with the color. I find myself designing with it, wearing it, just not eating it. 🙂
DIY is a good idea. There a lot of great vintage finds on ebay. Just none in that color combo.
um… YES PLEASE! my fave right now is a brighter version of your mustard – like a neon apricot. (i’m sure there’s an actual name for it… but neon apricot sounds good too, right? 🙂
Love Neon apricot. Totally chic name. Totes better than mustard.
those are the colors in my living room, no joke!! And I was worried it was getting a bit too colorful! Glad I’m on track! 😉
I think this might be one of my favorite things I’ve ever seen. Why is it so damn expensive??
What about moody yellow? 🙂
All of my favorite color combos have gray in them… very unique, I know. But mustard/goldenrod/neon apricot/moody yellow is in several rooms in my house and they look great with gray!
Love your blog! I have been following for a while, but this is my first comment. I have a big problem with orange and blue right now, but have also been gravitating toward bring green. I think it is the need for spring! You could change ‘mustard’ to ‘antique yellow’- it makes it sound very classy and seems like a good name for a muted color. Thanks for all your great inspirations!
I love this suzani!!
It would go in my office/ den perfectly!! Deep Peacock walls, cream trim orange and yellow art.

Love it! I love all those colors but have been struggling to think about how they could work together in a room but this gives me some new ideas.
Saffron?
I love that mustard color, but I am totally boring and call it gold (on the walls in my living room)…totally love the goldenrod idea. I definitely like it with cream, tan, and turquoise, too. I have tended to put that combo with artichoke-ish green and/or more of a rust/brick red (also needs a new name!), but the magenta really in your pic seems to make it feel fresh :).
I’m obsessed with green, orange, and turquoise…although that’s fading…I haven’t been hit with a new one for spring yet…
I agree, my family room is BM Dark Mustard but I always call it butterscotch or caramel. Sounds so much better !
I LOVE this color combo… the jewel tones are always my favorites! And yes I agree, goldenrod is a great alternative to mustard =)
This is so gorgeous!!! Absolutely love peacock blue and mustard together. I have been gravitating towards mustard hues, as of late.
I actually love mustard. The color and the food. That suzani is making rethink my living room.
Ha! I thought I was going to be so original suggesting goldenrod. I should know better. =>
I would totally just use the word “Dijon” — it connotes the idea of the mustard color but it’s easily recognizable. However, I am currently stuck on mushroom/griege ….sorta late to the game for I dream of this color at night.
Such beautiful colors together. Thanks for the inspiration 🙂
Oooh I love suzani too! But I hear you with the $$$ factor!
Right now I’m obsessed with anything in the peacock pallet!

The hot pink, soft pink, aqua blue, and saffron look so energetic, playing against that linen background. And I think the white makes them pop even more. Thanks for sharing your cheerful suzani. I especially love the white snowflake-shapes that look child-crafted.
Very imaginative to see everyone’s descriptions of the mustard color. All the names seemed appropriate.
Color is such a personal subject and very evocative. The name saffron seemed better than my own option – Thai Gold, but Thai Gold is the term that first came to mind because I see that particular color when I dine in my favorite restaurant.
My husband and I painted the shutters of a house with a mustard color that prompted such strong objection from conventional family members that we painted a bookcase with it, then altered the color for the shutters.
