I saw these photos in the French Elle Decor (Sept 2011) and loved the pairing of bold, bright colors with an otherwise muted palette. Looking back on previous blog posts, I can see that this combination is something I tend to gravitate toward. I do love color, but only when used in very specific ways. There can't be too many different competing colors. The color should serve as a focal point or to move your eye around the room, not be lost amidst a sea of other competing colors. There can be a lot of it, or a little of it, but it needs to be done right.
