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.

“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.
