Then came the high winds, rain, and hot coco temps. A rain always intensifies fall colors. Gold, orange and reds are more intense, as if a masterpiece was preserved with high gloss, clear, lacquer.</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><br />

Perhaps "they" mean the color of raw soil as earth color? I think earth tones are all the colors we see in nature, which are mostly primary colors of red, yellow, blue and green.</div></div></div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi0P0PdWURbTzDGum_H-CVUgXF9ajIPWksOPCClB0s5OxSysGD2irmWH66mbJpDHc1A4lQK9GEjdfotDEf2DdHXG44iUUVhlhRmNhz4KaavehfzQGStOPse5LpXDQXp_GHmYQVgeDHduC0/s1600/fall2010+048.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; cssfloat: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" nx="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi0P0PdWURbTzDGum_H-CVUgXF9ajIPWksOPCClB0s5OxSysGD2irmWH66mbJpDHc1A4lQK9GEjdfotDEf2DdHXG44iUUVhlhRmNhz4KaavehfzQGStOPse5LpXDQXp_GHmYQVgeDHduC0/s400/fall2010+048.JPG" width="300" /></a></div></div></div></div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><br />
