Colors That Work - Retail Space

I started off by complaining about the monotony of building exteriors in suburban Las Vegas. While grocery shopping this morning, I noticed a retail shopping center that did color just right. The key to color harmony is mixing the right shades of warm and cool. Notice that they didn't use tan, but contrasting warm and pale orange tones. For cool accents, they used teals, greens, and white. In addition, they architectural features are highlighted beautifully. It's visually interesting, and each storefront is differentiated from one another. A job well done by Crossroads Common Center at Charleston & Fort Apache.
