a Montreal-inspired color palette // gray, blue, pink, pastel // photo by Anna Wu [pinit]

 

Today's color inspiration is based on a photo of the port city of Montreal by the lovely Anna Wu, a Bay Area wedding photographer whom we met through Propel. (If you follow us at all, you may be familiar with her beautiful ballerina series called Pointe of View.)

I love not only the quaint architectural details in this photo, but also the MOOD. The quiet light of dusk provides such a peaceful palette of grays, blues, and pinks.
