a rust-inspired color palette

Does anyone have a cabin in the woods I can borrow? I'm ready for a two-week vacation from technology. You know, people say that's why hand-crafted goods have made a comeback. We're all tired of staring at computer screens and want to MAKE things with our hands again. I believe it!

COFFEE, NO CREAM #250A00 / CHESTNUT #43281E / TAN #896D5C

DIRTY STEEL #C2BBB0 / METAL GRAY #717271 / BLUE EYES #243F50

WHAT ARE THESE COLOR CODES? The “hex codes” above are provided as a courtesy for those customizing website colors or looking for general color inspiration. They are not based on paint or Pantone chips. Remember that ink on paper will never look the same as light on a screen. If you like a combination you see, we recommend saving the image and heading to your local hardware store to find paint chips that match. Digital colors will change depending on your phone/tablet/computer screen, so be sure to color match with real swatches. Also, I make up all the color names.

Happy Friday! May you have the time to relax, the discipline to not check your email, the weather to spend time outside, or the tools to make something amazing!
