How You Can Come Up with Your Own Color Palettes
Take inspiration from nature – Animals, flowers, fruits, berries, landscapes, the sky, and the four seasons offer many different color combinations we can use in our coloring pages.
Color inspiration from photographs – You can find millions of stunning photos on Pexels and Unsplash. These photographs give us endless inspiration for different color palettes.
Coolors.co – This website is my go-to for generating random color palettes. You can easily edit the colors and remove or add more colors.
Random – If you still can’t decide on a palette or simply don’t find anything that catches your eye, grab a handful of pencils/markers without looking. This can be a fun challenge, especially if you get an unusual color combination!
I hope these color palettes and ideas make your coloring experience less stressful and more enjoyable!
