“ E
arth tones ,” a term used to describe a design palette mimicking the natural landscape , often refers to muted browns , greens and grays that evoke feelings of calm and a connection to the outdoors . But beyond basic beige and sage exists a warmer , more vivid variety — wild mustard carpeting Orange County ’ s coastal canyons ; yellow-green olive leaves ; shore lichen , golden or ruddy , banded to inland rocks ; even the chocolate hues of mud . These bolder colors add dimension and personality to any home space .
Incorporating earth tones in the home can create a calming effect while layering texture through fabric , decor or artwork can create a cohesive feel .
