Beautiful Blue – from Cloud to Cobalt
Liz Nehdi
As a lover of both colours and organization I find myself collecting colour palette inspiration constantly from the world around me (and with the help of Pinterest). Yes, this inspiration comes from fashion, interiors and art, but other times it hits me as I’m walking down the street and see a particularly lovely colour vignette. Appreciating these small moments elevates everyday life and makes life that much more beautiful. Keep your eyes open!
I’ve chosen blue for this week’s colour mood board. Blue seems appropriate right now. It’s cold. Possibly even icy where you are. When the cloudy London skies part for an hour or so, I’m so thankful to see the beautiful blue sky. From cloud to cobalt to ultramarine to teal – blue is one of my favourite hues.
What’s your favourite shade of blue?
