As a graphic designer, I sometimes need color inspiration for a project. One of the resources I love drawing inspiration from is Home Depot. No kidding! The Behr paint section is great and they have take-away brochures with paint color chips!Whether you are looking for a color theme for your wedding, home decor, or design inspiration, it is a good place to start. Luckily, Behr is also online so you never even have to make the trip to Home Depot. Just go to: http://www.behr.com.
Above is just one example of the color palette you could create using the site. Imagine those colors for an updated take on a nautical wedding. Can you picture the bright orange bouquets and gorgeous bridesmaid dresses in that darker blue?
In creating the Behr color palettes they looked closely at how one color plays off of another. Here the light blue is the "unseen" base color that delicately sets the scene. The darker "Southern Evening" blue plays a large part as the strong secondary color. I love the use of the orange as an accent color to add some pop and an unexpected twist to the color theme.
I hope you get some good ideas from this. Who would have thought you could have your wedding colors inspired by Home Depot? :)
