"Retro Summer No. 1" abstract art print by Alicia Bock in bright summer colors


Can you believe it’s MID-July??? I’m already seeing ads for HALLOWEEN décor. Sheesh. If you’re not quite ready to say goodbye to summer, this week’s color palette based on an abstract art print by Alicia Bock will be right up your alley. The pops of orange, teal, and neon pink mixed with softer pink tones and pale yellow are bold, energizing, and bright…perfect for a summer party or playful brand!

Want to see the color palette used in another context? Here it is applied to a Texas-themed icon I designed for another project:
