a sea-and-sand-inspired color palette

Written By Nikki Mihalik

I have approximately 5 minutes until my little one comes busting into my studio, so I’ll keep this short and sweet. If you’re tired of stressing this week, shoot over to Stella Maria Baer’s website and get lost in her soothing style.

Stella’s paint and photography palettes are really more desert-inspired than anything else, but when I put this together it reminded me of the coast at sunset. I just love the mix of warm and cool!

Looking for more color inspo?

STARRY NIGHT #2E4555 / DESERT SKY OR DEEP BLUE SEA? #5B7282

SAND #EDE2DC / LIGHT CORAL #EFC0B0 / MUTED CORAL #E77F64

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.

Happy Friday! Hope you’re safe, healthy and well fed.
