Actually completely inspired but loved the play on words because today’s color scheme inspiration comes from my friend and CMG colleague Paul Half and his blog Half2Know.
I took a section of his blog and created the color palette shown below. I think the colors work great for his blog header but couldn’t you just image this color scheme in an interior of an apartment or knitted into a favorite sweater?
These aren’t the exact colors perhaps but when I paint a landscape I work to capture the feeling of the scene in colors that please me rather than worrying about whether or not they are the exact hues.
My thought process is much the same when I develop a color scheme from something that inspires me and I hope it is your approach as well. No need to worry about getting the colors exactly but rather focus on putting together colors that please you.
And just in case you were wondering here is what the full banner looks like.
Better yet why don’t you check out Paul’s blog Half2Know for yourself.
There are lots of great post on “color, business, culture & fun.”
PS- I started to write about a photo I had pulled as an example of colors that could work well in a kids room this morning and to my surprise discovered it is a variation of this same palette. See the post on Color for Your Home.
