Color Cohorts

Tied by tint, hitched by hue and partnered by pigmentation, these images are in cahoots in the most beautiful of ways.  I'll be filing them away in my "must use color palettes" file for sure.

It's funny, I've never been a huge fan of any "orangey" (not a word, I know) hue, but when it's paired with colors in the blue family I always love it.

Have a great Wednesday everyone!

  2. Orange and blue is a favorite of mine too! Love this combination of a more red/coral orange with a muted creamy blue. Lovely. The writer in me also loves the alliteration in this post :)

  4. Tangerine? That the name I like to use and one of my inspiration colors for Sheila's next room - maybe I'll pull a mood board together for it at some point. That's a great color combo it looks classic but still very fun.
