Muted Harvest: A Gentle Autumn Palette
Autumn doesn’t always arrive in bold reds and golden blaze. Sometimes it whispers — with the soft crush of leaves, clay-warmed light, and the quiet settling of the season’s shift.
This Muted Harvest palette aims to capture that quieter side of autumn — earthy neutrals, gentle greens, and clay tones that invite calm, reflection, and a grounded creativity.
Why Muted Harvest
These hues are grounding without being heavy, warm without overwhelming. They echo the feeling of a dusk walk — peaceful, balanced, steady. For creatives who prefer seasonal inspiration with restraint and timeless elegance, this is your palette.
How to Use This Palette
Muted Harvest works beautifully across creative projects:
Journaling spreads — soft headers, background washes
