Look to Colors in Nature for Inspiration

Colors for inspiration are everywhere...in a painting, in a walk, on a hike, a visit to the coast...usually the palettes can be inspired through some aspect of nature. You can not always use your own favorite colors.  You have to be open...I just read an interesting blog entry from one of my favorite jewelry designers. To keep things fresh, she uses her Pantone color app on her smart phone...it allows her to make palettes from her favorite photos, mix and match colors, and save palettes to use later. If she is hiking in Colorado, she makes a picture...and everything takes off from there...allowing her to create in living color!
