Black, White and Blue All Over?

I recently attended a seminar on color at the Boston Design Center and started to notice a trend. Brown has now seemed to have taken on the roll of becoming a neutral, a base in which to add dramatic accent colors. It got me thinking to what has happened to our traditional "black and white" scheme, has it gone by the wayside? Fear not, for those of you who are purist and love the polar opposites of the color spectrum, it is here to stay! I have found some wonderful examples of this timeless combination with glorious splashes of color to freshen up the look!
