Written By Nikki Mihalik

If you read last week’s post, today’s color palette might look familiar. :)

Inspired by a French provincial home, this mix of muted blue-gray, soft sage, and warm stone tones offers a refined alternative to stark neutrals. Whether you're designing a brand, styling an interior, or curating a moodboard, these calm, nature-inspired hues work beautifully together to create balance and depth. It’s perfect for creative professionals looking to bring subtle sophistication to their next project!
