Mother Nature

Nature is generous with color.

Desert sand turns soft gold against the blue sky. Forests hold every shade of green. Sea creatures wear red, yellow and violet. Nothing clashes, and everything belongs.

The neutrals we think of as “natural” (beige, white, black, navy) are really just one small corner of that picture. Look closely, and nature uses the whole palette. and remarkably, it all comes together beautifully.

So why do we keep color out of our wardrobes and our homes? Maybe we worry we’ll get tired of it.

Neutrals are lovely too. But when most of us wear the same few shades, we start to look alike. Feeling that we belong to society matters too, and so does being yourself. If we always dress and decorate the way everyone else does, our own style slowly fades.

A little color brings it back, in the shades that make you happy.
