## Color Guide

Here at HouseStore, we take color seriously. In each of the following sections, well explore our base colors in swatches that incrementally change three values: Hue, Saturation and Lightness. You'll be able to pick from a wide variety of colors that all work well with each other because they stem from the same value.

### Reds

Firetrucks, lipstick, fresh berries — red is a color with power, emotion, intensity. For this reason we recommend using reds as accent colors. Red is particularly suited to kitchens, as it is said to evoke hunger!

Our base red is HSL (350, 100, 50)

#### Lightness

#### Saturation

#### Hue

### Greens

They say that geniuses choose green — we think any of these verdant colors will look smart! Deck your halls like a lush outdoor space, adorn your rooms with emerald, or just make your houseguests green with envy!

Our base green is HSL (130, 100, 50)

#### Lightness

#### Saturation

#### Hue

### Blues

Blues dont give us the blues — in fact, blue is one of the most popular colors in home interiors, and for good reason! Energizing like a summer sky, calming like a lakeshore, light as mist or deep as indigo, blue can do it all.

Our base blue is HSL (220, 100, 50)

#### Lightness

#### Saturation

#### Hue
