Persimmon and black, I have always loved a deep orangey tone like this persimmon color for dining rooms, especially smaller, more intimate spaces. The warmth radiates off the walls and always sets a beautiful backdrop for antiques, ebony wood and soft modern furnishings. I find myself using dark, graphic colors like this black/green for doors and trim in almost every project these days-it gives a crisp and contrasting outline in a home that recalls classic Architectural Engravings.
