Earth and Whimsy: Color Palette for Fall 2015

The one good thing about the end of summer is discovering the beautiful new, fall color palettes. I always feel inspired by the deeper, richer autumn colors and this year is no exception — from sophisticated, timeless neutrals to pops of nostalgia and playfulness.

Pantone released their Fall 2015 Color Palette and I love the harmony of the colors, the unisex palette, and nods to the 20s and 60s. They speak of timelessness and effortless sophistication. Here’s my moodboard ode to the upcoming colors of fall.
