It’s the middle of summer, and there is definitely no shortage of color to be seen.  From the Nantucket reds to the arrays of vibrant linen, it’s that time of year where louder, lighthearted colors are the norm. As a way to stand out amidst the sea of brightness, try mixing in some softer, cool colors and textures. A deep lavender or even slate blue work well to both battle the heat as well as show your fun side.
