Fall might be the season when color comes most into play. It’s that whole fall colors thing – we just can’t resist evoking those earth and jewel tones.
But when I went to former Style Counselor Kay Smith-Blum for her take on the color(s) that would ease us out of this season and into the next, she was pretty succinct in her reply.
“Gray is the new black,” the Butch Blum co-owner said.
Fair enough. Where our first Color Theorist waxed long and green on the palette of his mid-summer obsession, Smith-Blum supplied us with this slideshow on current Butch Blum pieces that put a great spin on the idea of a gray day.
What colors are you feeling for fall?
