the storm before the calm

sapientia-stulti:

Emma is all pastels, light colors, incredibly soft, without anything dark to mar it. And very very fluffy.

Pride and Prejudice is jewel tones, dark greens and purples with perhaps a sudden dash of bright color to add interest.

Persuasion is dark colors (especially reds), that have faded well with age with just a hint of a rosy hue on the edges.

Mansfield Park is simple, drab colors, off-whites and washed out colors.

Sense and Sensibility is half bright colors, pinks and purples and yellows, and half serviceable colors, deeper blues and greens. The two halves battle it out and the blues and greens win in the end.

Northanger Abbey is a simple yellow with fantastic black accents that don’t quite seem to fit.
