Color of the Month: Bordeaux for Strength

Look for this color this month. Let it remind you of your strength.

As autumn deepens and the days grow cooler, we turn inward—toward reflection, grounding, and resilience. At Listening Lane, we believe in the power of color to mirror our inner journey. That’s why we’ve chosen Bordeaux as October’s Color of the Month—a rich, deep hue that represents strength, depth, and quiet power.

Why Bordeaux?

Bordeaux is not just a color—it’s a feeling. Somewhere between red and brown, this earthy wine tone speaks to the strength we carry within. It evokes the richness of soil, the boldness of aged wine, and the resilience of roots running deep. Bordeaux reminds us that true strength is not loud or flashy—it’s steady, grounded, and enduring.

Strength, Redefined

At Listening Lane, we understand that strength looks different for everyone. Sometimes it’s taking a leap forward. Sometimes it’s holding still. Sometimes it’s asking for help. And sometimes, strength is just showing up—especially when it's hard.

Bordeaux encourages us to:

• Honor our boundaries

• Speak our truth, gently but firmly

• Trust in our resilience

• Stay rooted during change

  
  

It’s the color of unapologetic self-respect and quiet confidence. When life demands more than we think we can give, Bordeaux whispers, “You already have what it takes.”

This Month at Listening Lane

As we carry Bordeaux with us through October, we invite you to explore what strength means in your own life. Whether through journaling, mindful walks, therapy, or meaningful conversations, let this color guide you into deeper self-trust.

Looking for ways to connect with Bordeaux energy?

• Wear it intentionally—on a scarf, sweater, or even a lip color.

• Add Bordeaux-toned items to your sacred space.

• Reflect on a time you were stronger than you realized.

• Light a candle in this hue as a reminder: you are rooted and resilient.

  
  

Final Thoughts

Bordeaux is not about pushing through or pretending everything’s fine. It’s about grounded presence, emotional endurance, and graceful power. It holds space for vulnerability and strength to co-exist—just like we do at Listening Lane.

This October, let’s walk in Bordeaux together—one grounded step at a time.
