Muted, claylike, earth tone palettes have been trending in contemporary interiors from France to Los Angeles. Tonal environments that use this palette on walls, floors and ceiling combine elegantly with textured whites and clean furniture forms for a look that is very of-this-moment. Both neutral and colorful, this soothing palette, in muted or bronzelike finishes, creates an escapist mood that evokes thoughts of a spa, cave or remote vacation getaway. The colors work best on textured or color-variegated surfaces that enhance the organic theme.
