Fall is officially treat season (you can't change our minds on this). From warm apple desserts and pumpkin pie to buttery tarts and steaming cups of cider, there’s no shortage of delicious reasons to get cozy.
And because we’re always thinking about color, we decided to take our favorite fall treats one step further: we matched each team member’s go-to fall treat with a Country Chic Paint color that captures the same cozy, delicious feeling!
Think of it as a little fall flavor meets paint color personality test. Because apparently, even our snack choices can inspire our next furniture makeover!

Its soft yellow undertones add depth and richness, making it feel warm, welcoming, and full of life.
It’s a natural choice for creating a cozy, collected look on furniture and décor. Think sun-drenched gardens, warm wood tones, and a freshly painted piece that brings a little bit of the outdoors in!
Darren + Strawberry Rhubarb Pie = Paint The Town
Sweet strawberries, tart rhubarb, and a golden, buttery crust make strawberry rhubarb pie one of those classic fall treats that never goes out of style, so it only makes sense that for Darren, we're pairing this delicious dessert with Pale Plaster.

Emilie + Hot Apple Cider = Bee’s Knees
Nothing says fall quite like a warm mug of apple cider & for Emilie, we're pairing that classic autumn drink with Bee's Knees, a charming and inviting one of Country Chic Paint's warm pastel colors, that exudes nostalgia and retro charm. There's something wonderfully cheerful about this color....just like a steaming mug of cider on a crisp fall day, Bee's Knees brings a little warmth and happiness wherever it goes.

Pumpkin pie and fall go together like paint and furniture! (Don't you agree?) That's why Kelly's favorite fall treat gets matched with Persimmon, the perfect bold citrus orange that represents the insides of that delicious slice of pumpkin pie. & while pumpkin pie may be warm and cozy, Persimmon adds a brighter, more playful take on traditional autumn color. It's made for anyone who thinks fall should have a little more wow.
