Butterum

Why do we love it?

How gorgeous is Butterum for Fall? It's a great muted caramel that goes well with crisp whites, moody blues, as well as so many other colors that are perfect for fall decor. We love it in both upholstery as well as in easy-to-update accents like pillows and accessories.

Marina

Why do we love it?

Marina could be our favorite shade of blue! It's the perfect mix of sapphire and royal blue - and we love that it can translate easily into spring. It's vibrant enough to be used in the winter months alongside both neutrals and bright palettes alike.

Navy Peony

Why do we love it?

When we saw that Navy Peony had been chosen for the Pantone Fall Fashion Report, we were thrilled! This color is such a wonderful refresh on navy, but includes wonderful depth that is stunning when represented alongside both sparkle and neutrals alike.

 

What does Pantone say about this color?

"A mainstay for the season for both palettes, Navy Peony is a dependable and an anchoring shade. Solid and stable, the hue takes some of the load off of black as a go-to neutral." [source]

Neutral Gray

Why do we love it?

Another classic for the winter months is this Neutral Gray. It's perfect for Scandinavian-inspired designs and classic homes alike. We love this color because it's a perfect mid-point between heather and slate gray - two of our favorite hues.

 

What does Pantone say about this color?

"The standard bearer of all neutrals, Neutral Gray shares the anchoring role with Navy Peony in this palette. It can be used as an accent or a head-to-toe statement shade." [source]
