MEXICO BRIGHTS
Mexico has always been a source for color inspiration, but this time we take a more subdued look at Mexico’s vibrant brights. Mellow Pinks and Tranquil Turquoises have us thinking of the laid-back beach towns that we all yearn to discover. Accents of Pink and Blue still add a little salsa to our softened colors.

PAINTER’S PASTELS
For our pastel color report, we took inspiration from the ways painters overlap their strokes into soft, dreamy colors. With different hues of lilac, mauve, pink, peach and green, these colors are easy to blend themselves.

HYPNAGOGIA
Hypnagogia is the transition from a wakeful state of mind to a peaceful, tranquil sleep state. As we transition from vibrant summer colors, we look towards soft, smooth and calm colors. Tame teals in different hues, gives us an comforting color palette with an unexpected, but soothing chalky pink.
