COLOR PALETTES AT YOUR FINGERTIPS

Brilliant ideas and inspiration are at your fingertips for design color palettes such as those found in nature, shelter magazines and photographs. Don't hesitate to copy (or rather compliment) someone else's keen creative eye.  See these beautiful palettes below:

Above, see sand tones, maritime blue, natural materials (use a natural fiber throw rug, for example) and black and white.

LOVE LOVE the Anthropologie catalogs for inspiration and ideas when thinking of color palettes for my projects. Their visual merchandisers and editors are simply brilliant. See below:

Wood tones, white, classic materials, such as the marble tabletop and a splash of canary yellow.  Nice.

Hints of the Mediterranean with sand, white-washed surfaces, sky blue, and a splash of yellow.

Can't you just see this palette of materials and finishes in your kitchen?  Wood-veneer cabinetry, with a Caeserstone countertop in sand tones and hints of white tableware + natural tones and greenery, which just brings life to this vignette.

See below:  off-white or stone color on walls and cabinetry, with accents in color.  This is so easily achieved in any kitchen.

This is an example of an exotic getaway in your bedroom ... again, stone tones with pops of color.  With the choice of subject matter, print, color, and pattern, life exists in this place or LE SANCTUAIRE.
