PALETTE TRENDS: Burgundy

Today we bring you the color of wine, of Tuscan sunsets, and of unique fashion. Burgundy, plum, aubergine, whatever you relate this colour to it talks of a rich, aromatic, unrelenting essence. That’s why we are paying careful attention to the composition of this palette. At first burgundy is inoffensive, but when decorating a whole room with it it’s important to understand the properties of the colour; made up mainly of red, it is consequently associated with strength and empowerment. Interestingly aqua and green are also found in it which in my opinion suggests softer elements like water. In this composition we take advantage of those hidden colors that make up burgundy to create a familiar atmosphere, ensuring that the color won’t feel too strong or too dark. The printed fabric ties in all the colors, a solid ice blue cools down the temperature and a little bit of yellow-green brightens up the color-scheme. Be careful though, too much of a complimentary colour may result in a look as strident as a neon sign. So go on be courageous and use it in décor, fashion, even hair! You’re guaranteed to be distinctive and edgy yet well put together.
