“masculine” and “feminine”

Moving away from the hunter green, deep burgundies to a softer, warmer, and lighter palette. We’ve talked about this whole concept of “green” being genderless; greens, and yellows, and grays all over the place, with bright accents. And I think the scale of spaces has gotten somewhat smaller.
