    I'm afraid I have to disagree with the fundamental premise that white is an organic color. Even the warm whites tend toward the sterile look of a doctor's examination room, the antithesis of organic. Using a more natural color for the walls and other large spaces would be better, even if you have to use that ubiquitous beige (though please don't). That gives a much better backdrop for your palette to work with when you're going for an organic look. In short, you broke my suspension of disbelief with the color white as organic in this article.

    I have a lovely soft white on all my walls that puts me in mind of milk, snowdrops, white primroses, clouds, fresh snow....I certainly do find it organic when layered with hessian and wood tones and accents of green. Loved the article, thankyou.
