KEEP IT COOL

Turn down the heat with a serene scheme. Blue and green tones remind us of leafy parks and flowing streams, so they’re great colours to add to your look when it’s warming up outside. Create your palette by working with three colours: a dark, light and mid-tone. Then pop in a contrasting hue, like orange, to give the scheme a burst of energy.
