Color Crush: Invite Autumn Into Your Home With Tobacco
Design editor Kai Ethier shares which hue she’s crushing on right now.
A rich yet relaxed hue in the orange family, tobacco is reminiscent of 1970s terracottas. Yellowy-orange undertones give this color its toasty glow, and deeper iterations create a moody mystique. Grounding rooms in this beautiful brown invites in the autumn season with both gusto and gravitas.
