Indigo Blues
Tracy Bulla -- Home Accents Today, 5/1/2007
With all shades of blues making news, the revival of indigo should come as no surprise. Prized as a dye for its brilliant blue hue, the ancient shade saturates interiors with cultivated elegance and compelling exoticism. Instead of denim, think batik and bold, enchanting graphics for a dash of spice.
