Color Collective
My sister and I were discussing potentially repainting the common areas of her home, which encompass 5 distinct, but fluid, places. In that vein, we began to consider the unity of colors that the spaces demanded. Although I am a bit opposed to having a terribly consistent aesthetic in each room of a dwelling, I am conscious of the flow and cohesion needed to make a group of spaces feel natural or organic. We became fixed on the idea of potentially identifying the palettes “indigenous” to different periods—for example, the 60’s with bright pop colors or the 70’s with pungent hues of teal, orange, and chocolate (these are her favorites!).
I was so excited to find the Color Collective, after reading Lauren White’s guest posts on Design*Sponge recently. Her blog is centered on color and those palettes which are both pleasing and natural. She describes the project as follows:
I created Color Collective as a designers' resource for color. The color palettes are pulled from the work of various designers, artists, and photographers that I am inspired by. I hope you will be inspired too, and use these palettes in your own creative projects!
It would be fun to have her every post be a page in a magazine where one could identify the palettes towards which they are most inclined. But, in the meantime, her blog is a resource for current and future projects—party planning, outfits, bedding, etc.
