Break out the remote and watch some Star Trek... T.O.S., of course.

Love the resources people are suggesting here!

It can be hard to find materials in those old colors but they're definitely worth the search. For example, the kitchen tiles behind our stovetop were a special order from Daltile that took a few weeks to get in. The color splash they provide is great though.

Any art going on the walls? The wall paint color choice has a huge effect on how the art will look. Most of our artwork has very vibrant colors. The pieces looked okay on the off-white walls in our previous house. All the art looks much, much better on the walls in our new place because the basic wall color has more pigment. I never would've thought the Shag piece could look brighter/better but the new color it's up against does wonders.

Accent walls have been the easy way we tossed in colors as well. One color was inspired by some 1950s shoes and sweaters I have. When transformed to paint on a wall though, the color just didn't have the impact we were going for. The new color was across the color wheel and was just the answer we were looking for. Both were custom colors from Benjamin Moore.

Neenah Paper has a new [url href=http://www.neenahpaper.com/eames]Eames Collection[/url](we got a bunch of samples at the How Design Conference) that may provide some inspiration.
