Color such as burnt sienna, terra cotta and russet might not be the vivid show-stopping colors of fall, but they are still hues of this harvest. These are the quiet cousins of orange and revolutionary red. They signify clay chimineas, chrysanthemums, ornamental corn and apple cider. These muted, earthy hues deliver immediate coziness and warmth to your house, which is just what you may be looking for during the colder months. These are definitely colors that will bring the fall outdoors inside. I’m toasty just thinking about it!
