Chocqua. It's actually two colors, aqua plus brown.
As shown in the Nines Hotel:
From the NY Times: "The color scheme was present in the carpeting, which had putty, Tiffany-blue, beige and dark-brown stripes." (This photo is not the area of carpet of which they gush. That was in the hall, I think.)
Aqua is a lovely hotelly color, with or without brown. Check these out from the same hotel:
Actually I was kind of surprised the Nines used the choqua color scheme, because it's been way done already. I mean, when you can get a blue/brown striped crib ensemble from KMart, maybe professional decorators should be moving on. 
Though I do love this self-patterning yarn: (mitts courtesy of ADD Knitter)
Actually, after blogging all this, I'm over this look. What's next?
Interesting question: what do you think the next new-new color scheme will be? Has anyone spotted one that seems fresh, of-the-moment, and oh-so-modern?
