This color palette is derived from the autumn leaves of the white poplar tree (Populus Alba), also known as an Aspen or Cottonwood tree. The poplar tree has a very lightweight wood that is often used for palettes, crates, lightweight furniture and pulpwood. The distinctive toothed leaves of the poplar turn many shades of yellow, orange and green in the fall. They create a warm optimistic color palette that can instill a cheerful feeling when applied to interiors and exteriors alike.
