Grenadine

Grenadine: it’s more than a sweet syrup used in mixed drinks. It’s also one of the fall’s hottest colors! While grenadine has definitely made waves on the runway, there’s no reason it shouldn’t flourish in our interiors, adding a vibrant pop of color.

What colors complement Grenadine? Berry tones are a natural fit, as shown by these Ostadar Napkins from Jean-Vier:
