Jewel Tones

‘Indicated by Modsy, “Jewel-toned colors are deeply saturated hues that tend to be named after gemstones. Think: emerald green, sapphire blue, ruby red, amethyst purple, citrine yellow. Gold—as a color and a finish—can also fall into this color family and complements jewel tones beautifully.”’ Using jewel tones is an easy way to establish a moody aesthetic. Jewel tones are very popular right now and we are loving this trend.
