Muddy Earth Color Palette

Most of us complain that we don’t get enough color in our world, but this picture shows us how gorgeous and haute ‘muddy earth’ can look. The colors are muted, there are varying textures (I spot tweed!), and the fringe adds a touch of bohemian to the mix.

Pink

Violet

Violet- conveys royalty and everything regal

Yellow

Yellow- lifts the spirit and makes us smile

Orange

Orange- hotter than yellow and denotes depth

Red

Red- the color is always HOT and says sexy!
