I couldn't fully embrace Cancer season without fea

I couldn't fully embrace Cancer season without featuring the Gemini palette! Gemini season may have ended, but we're taking the time to appreciate our Geminis!

The palette showcases vibrant yellow paired with bright and rich shades of greens and blues for this lively sign. Balancing out the bright hues is this crisp yet inviting shade of off-white.

Yellow is Gemini's primary color, which relates to the sun, as Mercury rules Gemini. The characteristic of the color yellow also pairs with the energizing, cheerful, and creative qualities of Geminis.

The secondary color is green which can represent the duality of the sign. It strikes a balance for the dynamic nature of this air sign— green is a result of taking the energizing quality of yellow with the calming subdued nature of blue.

Other typical colors associated with Gemini are blue and white, which are supported in the palette. Blue is related to the sky, quite fitting for this air sign. The color white is seen as a blank canvas for this creative sign.

Overall, the colors create an uplifting, dynamic, and fun palette.

Feelin’ floral with muted coral! This dried floral arrangement captures the fresh and contemporary tones of Rose Tan SW 0069 highlighted with other trending warm neutrals. The soft drapery background was the source of the soft pinky-white. Then the vase, various dried florals, and foliage were sources for soft peaches, muted terracottas, and deep rust colors. The palette feels soft and feminine, with a touch of boho and vintage charm.

I might be seeing through rose-tinted glasses, but I am digging this featured color! Rose Tan is a pinky-peach tan. The warm tan undertones provide depth and sophistication to the paint color. The result is a color that feels refreshing and uplifting without feeling juvenile. Rose Tan SW 0069 is part of the Sherwin William’s 2022 Color Forecast as part of the Dreamland collection.
