Color Report FW 14/15
A Letter From The Editor Each of the four seasons has it’s own distinct pallet of colors. “Nature always wears the colors of the spirit”-Ralph Waldo Emerson. The fall and winter months can provide some of the most dramatic, powerful, and emotional color pallets any of seasons have to offer. The autumn changes the color of leaves and fills the eye with vibrant yellows and oranges; to fill the landscape with as much color as possible before the cool grays and blues of winter come to dominate. In the winter the sun sits low in the sky and sets dramatic light across a landscape, if given the chance, the warming beams seem much more precious because of their scarcity. These colors whether through osmosis, emotion, sensations, or experience are imbued into the seasons. The FW 14/15 color report are inspired by these imbued colors. Telling a story of osmosis, emotion, sensations, or experience of the fall and winter seasons. _Evan Knowles

Renewed glaciation; with every winter is a new little ice age of your very own. The warmest point in the Earth’s climate is on it way. The view that neoglaciation is ending in present times, it’s assumed by those who identify the most recent climate changes and global warming as the onset of a new period in Earth history. Layer with t h e c o l o r s and tex ture s o f t h e crystalline structures of snow and ice while you can.

Shingebiss is an Ojibwa Native American story which exemplifies the strength of the underdog and the virtue of perseverance and fortitude. It is traditionally told about a duck who defies the harsh cold winter while others cower. The Ojibwa are native to the great lakes region of the Untied States and well known for using copper arrow heads. Colorways are built from copper colors and the fall pallet in this region.

The word “Apricity” represents a simple and familiar, yet a very specific phenomenon - the sun’s warmth on a cold winter’s day. Hearing and using this word is a reminder that there are very few things in life more important than enjoying a moment. A moment in which the biggest physical-worldly contradiction touches my cheeks, the combination of cold weather and hot sun. Using soft warm and cool tones to represent this relaxing enjoyable dualistic experience.

This quiet and unspoiled New England village, once a refuge for pirates, deep-water sailors, and coastal traders, hold secrets that are known only in Cotuit and Santuit. They are home to such people as Henry Adams, whose courtship took place here; the Cape Cod Commandos; and the witch Hannah Screecham, who guarded Captain Kidd’s treasure. History, romance, affluence and serenity - colors inspired by the scenery during the fall months in the region.
