Decorating: Favorite Fall Colors

I relish the complexity of the autumnal palette and the layering it allows. Here on Long Island, the flora is complex-with many species of trees dropping their leaves in a kaleidoscopic wonder. Caramel, cinnabar, chartreuse, lime, apricot, honey, and teal-hues with an undertone of warmth that mysteriously harmonize. These autumn shades comfort the soul as the weather turns bitter cold.
