Today’s summery color palette features a matte navy, modern French blue, light sand, and antique gold. It’s the perfect combination for a coastal-inspired, luxury brand. Simple, serene, elevated.

Today’s color inspiration features a blue inspired by a well loved pair of denim jeans, leathery tan, neutral blush, and “worn” black. It’s a great example of how a cool color can feel right at home in a warm, otherwise earthy palette.

Here’s a fun fact for you :: I lived in Italy for half a year (a long time ago), and seeing these colors really brings me back there.

Today’s bold, berry colored palette is inspired by a photo of Antelope Canyon by Peter Secan.
