a sea-and-space-inspired color palette

color inspiration
Written By Nikki Mihalik

What I love most about photos from space is that they always remind you of something on a smaller scale. Rivers look like veins...cities look like microchips...and islands look like slabs of marble or slices of agate. These rich blues mixed with bright aqua and yellow gold are just amazing!

YELLOW GOLD #DCB13C / AQUA #57BDA2 / TEAL #2493A2

MEDIUM BLUE #304A78 / NAVY BLUE #2C3259 / DARK BLUE #0A0E28

WHAT ARE THESE COLOR CODES? 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!
