Earth tone palettes have gained renewed relevance in design over the past decade, but the best ones avoid the cliche. The combinations here are drawn from specific material and landscape references - Saharan sandstone, wet river clay, the grey-brown of lichen on granite, the warm off-white of fired ceramic. They work because they carry environmental weight: these are tones that exist in the world at scale, which makes them feel at home in architecture, interior design, and brand systems that want substance.
