February is a month of new beginnings: it represents fresh starts, optimism, and hope. It’s also a cold month, where we’ve put aside the bonfires and hayrides of autumn and cozied up peacefully indoors. Fittingly, we’ve chosen this month’s color of the month as Sunwashed Brick: a nuanced pink with soft charm.
