Written By Nikki Mihalik

Today’s palette channels joyful warmth, artistic confidence, and the kind of creative optimism that feels both carefully curated and comfortably lived-in. Designed by Mary Kathryn Wells, this mix of coastal blue, clay, marigold, coral/pink, and red is perfectly suited for cheerful, personality-filled spaces. Emotionally, the colors feel uplifting, nostalgic, and expressive…creating a mood that is vibrant yet approachable. As a brand, this palette would be perfect for an interior designer with a playful aesthetic and bold point of view - someone who works with art-forward clients, colorful homes, and design lovers who value individuality and modern-meets-vintage charm.

Happy Friday!
