And see a thousand eyes staring back
And all around these golden beacons
I see nothing but black
I feel a way of something beyond them
I don't see what I can feel
If vision is the only validation
Then most of my life isn't real
'cause if you're not really here
Then the stars don't even matter
Now I'm filled to the top with fear
That it's all just a bunch of matter
'cause if you're not really here
Then I don't want to be either
I wanna be next to you
Black and gold
Black and gold
Black and gold
By Sam Sparro
No, we're not pitching to the Steelers (that is, unless they want a mural) but black and gold are so elegant together. Sometimes a dark hue can suck the living life out a space by making it smaller (think red in a long hallway) but also consider how it recedes from lighter layers on top of it. Dark paint is also fantastic in a room that gets warm, southern exposure light. Metallic line work would pop against a darker hue. Here's one of my original designs that highlights sharp angles. I see it fitting into a sophisticated dressing or powder room.
Don't be afraid of the dark. It can be a stunning masterpiece in a small area!
