The most decadent time of the year is fast approaching, which means the colors we surround ourselves with are gradually becoming richer and deeper. October marks the sweet spot between summer and winter, with the warmth of the sun beautifully contrasting against the newly crisp air.
We’re leaving behind the light textures and bright colors of the summer, but aren’t ready to fully give into the coolness of winter. It’s a month that signifies both balance and abundance, perfect for soft metallics with a luxurious feel.
This month’s color is Raw Silk, color 1-242
Raw Silk, a highly lustrous, fluid-like color with a delicate sheen, captures the soft warmth of October in a cool and sophisticated package. It resembles liquid silk shining in the autumn sun; a gorgeous warm metallic gray that exudes modern refinement.
