This weekend I assembled key items from Gates nursery that represented the color palette I had in mind for her nursery. I snapped a photo, manipulated true black and the midtones, and then generated a palette using the Color Palette Generator by Jeff Minard.
One color that's noticeably absent from a little girl's nursery is pink. While I love pink and pink was a secondary color in our wedding palette, I don't want Gates enveloped in a pink cocoon. Note that pink wasn't always reserved just for girls, in 1918, the trade recommended pink for boys and blue for girls:
“The generally accepted rule is pink for the boys, and blue for the girls.
The reason is that pink, being a more decided and stronger color,
is more suitable for the boy,
while blue, which is more delicate and dainty, is prettier for the girl.”

How did you chose the colors for your child's nursery?
Ciao Bella!
