Autumn Tablescapes You’ll “Fall” in Love With
by
BBJ Linen
Autumn brings its own crisp color palette — out are the dusty blues and yellows of long summer days and in are the vibrant reds, greens and oranges of campfires and falling leaves. For their annual fall color report, BBJ Linen takes inspiration from the Pantone Color Institute, which studies how color influences human thought processes, emotions, and reactions. BBJ’s curated cool-weather tablescapes have us feeling and hopeful for the season and eager to entertain.
Valiant Poppy is a brave and outgoing red shade, effusive in its allure.
Red Pear is a deliciously deep red whose luscious depth entices.
Russet Orange speaks to the earthen warmth of the forest floor.
Ceylon Yellow is savory and spicy and adds an exotic touch.
Limelight is animated and effervescent —
a pungent yellow-green that becomes the center of attention.
Quetzel Green is a deep elegant blue-green hue suggestive of rich plumage.
Martini Olive is a smooth, sophisticated and urbane green
that adds depth to any palette.
Nebulas Blue is reminiscent of starlight — a thoughtful, starry-eyed blue.
Crocus Petal is a cultivated and refined hue
that adds a light and airy spring-like feel to cooler seasons.
Ultra Violet — the Pantone “Color of the Year” for 2018 — is inventive and imaginative, lighting the way for what is yet to come.
