Color trends change frequently, so there’s no need to go all-in on the most popular hue of the year. However, shying too far away from color could also lead to an overwhelming amount of beige.

Instead, Garcia recommended experimenting with jewel tones, earth tones, and other desaturated palettes as a way to embrace color in a way that’s not too overwhelming.
