The Color
Art and Craft features the need for experimentation in handicrafts. An appreciation for nature brings with it a newfound desire to know where our products come from, and the processes used to make them.
Art and Craft is a new take on traditional colors—a nature-based hue that is moody and complex. The sophisticated darkness of this color is destined to make it become a new classic; a foundation color that ties other colors together. Comfortable, cozy, calming and versatile, as a warm and welcoming color, it makes us feel tied to the earth and nature’s seasons, evoking another era that highlighted arts and crafts.

Nature as Inspiration
There’s something about emerging from quarantine with a renewed sense of awe for nature. Art and Craft is a warm, earthy shade that creates a feeling of stability and calms while allowing for a large range of play with creativity and change. An invitation of retreat, renewal, and nourishment, Art and Craft is of the earth and its minerals. We are born from the earth and live from it, from what we grow and harvest.

The Trend of Browns and Warming of Colors
Browns move to the forefront of influential colors, from toasty browns to cinnamon to yellow-influenced warm neutrals ... all inspired by nature, cozy and warm atmospheres, the sustainability movement, and an arts and crafts resurgence.

The Health and Wellness Connection
Art and Craft is a grounding color that taps into nourishing, stabilizing, and calming atmospheres. As an alternative to black, browns—including Art and Craft—are reassuring and warming. Brown is honest, genuine, and sincere, and generates feelings of wholesomeness, creating a sanctuary from the worries of life.
