a seagull-inspired color palette

Written By Nikki Mihalik

If you've ever lived near the ocean, seagulls are quite honestly more of a nuisance than anything else. They're loud, messy, and in your face. Buuut...now that we live in a landlocked city, I kind of miss the poopy food-snatchers.

PSA about web-safe colors: 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!
