COLORS IN PALM SPRINGS

Over the years you had an influx of wanna be designers that came to town. Don't get me wrong, there are some nice renovations but in general there is no cohesion to most design. When I looked at my first mid-century there was a designer redoing houses in white, limes, yellows and it worked but then you started seeing the colors everywhere.
Those colors still work along with blues and bright colors. Browns, dark green do not and the reason is there is very little green here and they make a small house look smaller. In Palm Desert or Rancho Mirage browns and green work but the bright colors don't. Also, the mountains are darker on that side of town. The mountain in PS is light and higher than the mountains on the other side of town which makes it more important to lighten the house otherwise you loose the house.
