a refined, paint-inspired color palette

Today’s color palette blends grounded neutrals with energetic, juicy hues to create a mood that is both refined and full of personality. Ideal for a bold, modern, and creative brand (or space!), this mix of khaki, blush, orange, and red signals confidence, playfulness, and a willingness to stand out.
