Iris: a flower with sword-shaped leaves, the Greek goddess of rainbows, the part of your eye that lets light in. As we discover what this new normal can look like, here’s a color that captures our quest for the unknown. The curiosity in experiencing familiar places with new eyes. Cosmic Iris is a blue-to-purple hue that takes us to a place of wonder.
Fantasy, mysticism, and longing all come together in our new Color of the Season. Iris can rebloom in the fall as a garden flower, offering a range of purples and blues that evoke calm. As a goddess, Iris brings a certain mythical energy and a desire to return to nature.
A perfect complement for this season’s design trends like Galactic Escapism and Fresh Antique, Cosmic Iris represents our rekindled sense of awe.
