This season's top color trend isn't exactly the most common term around — so if you had to consult your old Art History textbook (or the Pantone website) for a little clarity, you're not alone. Named for a naturally occurring pigment of the same name, Ochre is an earthy yellow-brown hue that's most often associated with oil paints and clays. (Maybe that's why the feeling it evokes is so downright artsy.)
But while it's not a name you'll spot in the average box of Crayola crayons, there's no denying its widespread appeal, style-wise — especially as we head into fall. Situated perfectly between last year's desert-chic canyon clay hues and the oncoming burnt yellows of autumn, there's no better time to pepper some of this spicy pigment into your home.
