Why This Soft Autumn Color Palette Exhibits a Calming Vibe and a Simple Way to Enhance It
As I begin my journey into the interesting world of bringing seasonal palettes of nature (as well as comforting colors in general) into the modern transitional home, I’ve recently learned why this palette (and others like it) presents such a calming vibe:
The Reason: The muted tones of these colors convey a gentle, soothing warmth because their saturation is low. The colors present a softer view to the eyes causing the brain to be less stimulated. A sense of calmness, coziness... comfort.
Enhancements to this Palette: It’s ideal to enhance these colors by pairing them with neutrals like soft taupes and browns, not extreme blacks and very bright whites.

Ideas for Using This Soft Autumn Color Palette in Your Home:
Milk Silk Walls envelope the room in a light, airy and neutral embrace. This color supports a welcoming atmosphere that allows decor to take center stage surrounded by its soft (not sterile) tone.
Dusty Olive is a khaki-greenish gray that’s great for statement armchairs and sofas. It brings earthy sophistication and subtle depth.
Golden Haze is the tone of honey beige. An area rug in this color becomes the sunlit base that ties the trio together.
