a starry-sky-inspired color palette

color inspiration

THIS is what I picture when I hear the Beatles' "Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds" despite its allegedly "drug-free" connection to Alice in Wonderland.

Greg Rakozy's mesmerizing photo lends itself to SO many color combinations...but alas, I could only pick one: shades of turquoise and magenta with an unexpected pop of peach!

DEEP TURQUOISE #1B2F38 / LAKE ON A CLOUDY DAY #506E6F / PEACH SHERBERT #F49575

PINK VELVET #DA8498 / MAGENTA #A82C7A / SUGARPLUM #55083E

WHAT ARE THESE COLOR CODES? The “hex codes” above are provided as a courtesy for those customizing website colors or looking for general color inspiration. They are not based on paint or Pantone chips. Remember that ink on paper will never look the same as light on a screen. If you like a combination you see, we recommend saving the image and heading to your local hardware store to find paint chips that match. Digital colors will change depending on your phone/tablet/computer screen, so be sure to color match with real swatches. Also, I make up all the color names.

Cheers to the weekend!
