Burnt orange, deep gold, russet, warm brown, and the particular amber of candlelight — the colours of harvest, abundance, and gratitude.
Thanksgiving sits at the heart of autumn, and its palette is autumn distilled into something domestic and warm. These are colours of the table and the land — the burnt orange of acorn squash roasted at the edges, the deep gold of dried corn, the russet of stored apples, the warm brown of pecan and walnut, the amber of apple cider in a glass. They are colours that feel earned rather than chosen, colours of abundance gathered before the cold closes in. In candlelight, every one of them deepens and warms further. This is a palette for the long table, the slow afternoon, the particular quality of late November light.
