Color Crush: Stone Is Subtle, Soothing And Sophisticated
Updated on November 28, 2023
A calming hue that’s taken from nature, stone is warmer than the cool greys that have dominated the past decade. It’s strong enough to contrast with bright whites and blond woods, acting as a grounding color when white is the accent. But its earthy undertones are also a great match for more vibrant colors such as deep mustard or spicy red. Look for greys with a slightly brown undertone to get this gentler, softer look.
