plum, purple, mauve, lavender — whatever you prefer to call it, i’m seeing these pretty jewel tones popping up everywhere. from fashionistas to fainting sofas, purple would appear to be very en vogue. shades of pale purple, eggplant and mauve paired with soft hues of gray, and a sneaky hint of amber gold they make a very soothing, and yet bold and dramatic decor statement. wanna get the look — simply swap out your current throws, pillow cushions or even an area rug with this trending color palette and you are good to go. this week’s color story is all about the jewel tones.
