Sultry yet subtle, we’re excited to introduce a Color of the Season that feels as natural as it looks. This hue whispers a story of calm, sophistication, and a return to nature. Silky Sage (#A9CDBB) is refreshing, with a subtle kick that reinvigorates our senses and reconnects us with our softer, more intuitive nature. It’s soothing, softcore aesthetics at their best.
This organic, muted green carries hints of Art Deco elegance and Art Nouveau artisanship, adding an aged, organic touch that feels at home in both modern and classical designs. Silky Sage feels like a quiet moment of reflection amidst the chaos of our daily grind. It invites us to pause, breathe, and immerse ourselves in the clarity of serenity.

How to Apply Silky Sage
Our new Color of the Season lends itself well to lush tropical motifs and plays well with metallics and neons. It’s a color that can ground your palette, providing a stable, calming base while allowing bolder colors to shine. In terms of color theory, green is often associated with tranquility and health, while the grey undertones add a layer of neutrality and sophistication.
Studies have shown that exposure to green can reduce stress and enhance creativity, making it a powerful tool for designers looking to create visuals that promote well-being and productivity. The muted quality of Silky Sage can evoke a sense of nostalgia and timelessness, linking it to both natural and human-made environments in a way that feels harmonious and balanced.
