Tips for Using Fall Colors in Your DIY Projects

  • Layer Your Colors: Fall is about depth and texture. Don’t hesitate to layer different shades from our three paint lines. Begin with a base color like Buttercream or Salt Water. Add accents with richer shades like Chocolate or Collard Greens.
  • Add Dimension with Different Finishes: Silk All-In-One Mineral Paint includes a built-in primer and topcoat, ideal for sleek, durable finishes. Terra Clay Paint provides a matte, chalky finish, perfect for creating an old-world look. Chalk Mineral Paint offers a smooth, versatile finish that’s easy to blend, making it ideal for any DIY project.
  • Pair with Natural Elements: Incorporate natural textures like wood, linen, or woven baskets to enhance the earthy feel of these colors.
