this week’s color story is inspired by a holiday magazine cover i recently posted on Instagram and have since become rather obsessed with, by artist George Giusti. it’s perhaps an unusual color palette, but i think that’s why i love it so much. the tones of his cover (above) are kind of muted, and that comes with the fact that this cover is quite old, but that’s part of its charm. these colors have a modern, quite tropical feel to them and definitely a mid-century modern vibe. i thought i’d seek out some images inspired by his artwork and they cover the very eclectic gamut from black to pale pink, mauve, and green with a little ochre thrown in for good measure. i hope you enjoy the looks.
