โ„๏ธ Winter Color Palette 2017

Cool blues, icy whites, deep evergreen, silver frost, and the quiet drama of bare branches against a pale sky.

2016 2017 2018

Winter is a study in restraint. The season drains the landscape of warmth and reduces its palette to essentials: the deep, deliberate green of pine and spruce against a white field, the blue shadow that forms in the hollow of a snowdrift, the near-black of bare birch branches traced against a pale sky, the brief, vivid red of holly berries or rose hips โ€” vivid precisely because of their rarity in a world gone grey. Ice on a window turns the light silver. Frost turns grass to glass. The sky moves through a sequence of whites and blue-greys that can look almost lavender at dusk. There is beauty in this palette, but it is a quiet beauty that asks you to look carefully and move slowly.
