Colors of Germany

We have just returned from a week in Germany! Since we went with friends who were very familiar with the country, we had the perfect traveling companions. We rented a car and toured through cities large and small, the Alps in Germany and Austria and the Black Forest to name a few of the sights we saw on our trip. Our first night we stayed in a castle! What an experience. And the Gesthaus experience is certainly the way to see a country!
One of the things I noticed (besides the fact that buildings and roads are thousands of years old) was the colors and architecture of the buildings, especially the soft combinations of paint colors throughout the country. Soft pinks and greens, greys and tans, and some stronger terra cotta combinations. What struck me the most, was how these soft combinations in such ancient surroundings could be adapted to even comtemporary decor.







Greens were wonderful. Either as a main house color or as a trim color!

Pink was everywhere. Here with turquoise! Also combined with soft greens and cool greys.












Classic blue and white!
This building was on the river in Bamburg.
A beautiful ancient city.
