So I Enjoy Patterns - Inspiration for Color Palettes





























































































Self explanatory post. I just wanted to share a selection of beautiful colors and designs (specifically paisley and damask) that I like to surround myself with! If you aren't familiar with my work, I paint a lot of ornate designs, so I like to have great references!

I also included a few of the patterns I really like with some color combos pulled out. I see this a lot in fashion blogs (like one of my favorites Tulip Louise does << here), but it doesn't necessarily have to apply just to fashion. I really enjoy grey added as a neutral in a palette. I pull color inspiration from patterns I like in a lot of my paintings. 







P.S. Check out Colourlovers << here for a great color, pattern and palette resource. SO much fun and very useful!
