Chardonnay

Chardonnay is a rich, subdued yellow that takes its name from the grapes used in making the famous wine. This versatile color anchors and adds cozy strength to whatever it adorns. Creamy with hints of hidden depths, this hue is delicious for fashion. Blouses and skirts in this charming shade add elegant panache to any wardrobe, as do coats and jackets in this hue. Add black shoes, a black handbag, and a black or cabernet hat for an untouchably stylish appearance. A sweater or tunic this color adds instant chic to weekend jeans or leggings. This color is also an excellent choice for decorating. It pairs well with darker wine colors, creating a pulled-together look for any room, but especially living rooms, bathrooms, and bedrooms. It is a great choice as an all-over neutral for sofas, upholstered chairs, pillows, throws, and blankets. Add pillows in this hue striped with richer tones such as deep brown. Try patterned wallpaper, perhaps in a luscious claret, for a bold statement, and a sweetly patterned rug in this color mixed with black. Chardonnay, as a color, is just as delicious, refreshing, welcoming, and cheerful as is the eponymous wine.
