SEPTEMBER 2021 - AMBER

September is a time of change and transition. In many places it's the start of the school year, which officially signals the end of summer. At the start of the month, most of us are trying to squeeze every last drop of summer and enjoy the warm days. We know it won't be long before we start to feel that familiar cold bite in the air!

it's this theme of transition that has inspired our choice for September's Color of the Month-Amber! This brilliant orange hue seems like the perfect combination of summer and fall, all in one! it's still a brighter color, and orange definitely has that fun summer vibe. At the same time, Amber has some depth to it, with rich, earthy undertones that speak to our favorite autumn phenomenon-the changing of the leaves!

As a gemstone, Amber is known for its protective qualities, especially for children. it's commonly worn as a bracelet or anklet for children and is said to help with the pain of teething. For adults, it's said to have healing properties and is often worn when recovering from an illness or injury. From an emotional perspective, it's said to bring love and good luck to those who wear it or use it as a rubbing stone.

As a color, Amber is known for bringing lots of vibrant energy to a space. That makes it a perfect choice in any room where people gather-a formal living room or a dining room are both great candidates for experimenting with Amber! There's a range of tones with Amber, so based on the area you're using it in, you have some options. For a high energy vibe, choose a hue that's more of a true orange to add that pop of brightness. For something a little more relaxed, look for a more muted tone with a heavier brown base. This is a great option for an allover wall color, (or even your home's exterior!) as it still brings some colorful energy without feeling too overwhelming.
