Yes, that is great advice for your clients. Even if someone thinks they don’t know what they like once they begin to take notice their taste will emerge.

I often try to show some of my own “unexpected” sources of color inspiration to show others that color palette ideas really can come from just about anywhere!

I often tell clients who are searching for a color scheme to look around them and see what catches their eye. Sometimes it will come from an unexpected source, like the whimsical dragon art you posted.

I think your palette did a beautiful job of capturing the cheerful energy in the artwork.
