The August Palette: Color at the Edge of Summer

August is not fall, but it knows fall is coming. Its colors are warm, softened, ripened, faded, and a little more interesting than anything too clean or new. From creamy whites and dry sage to dusty mauve, hazy blue, russet red, and smoky brown-gray, the August palette offers a way to bring warmth, maturity, and atmosphere into the home without making it feel heavy or overly seasonal.
