Four Color Schemes to Inspire You
Color Schemes Set 4: Inspired by Bluishmuse
I have enjoyed some much needed R&R over the holidays, but this week I have been hard at work on my next project. For my first post of 2016, I thought it would be a good idea to resurrect the color schemes feature which I had let lapse during the holiday hustle-bustle.
The photography of Neelima Polam of Bluishmuse has inspired this color scheme set featuring the colors of fire, water, and rain. Be sure to check out the links where you can purchase her photography and other products. Enjoy!

Warming Up
Winter was a long time coming in Florida where I live, but we finally have had some cold and wet days. Perhaps that’s why this bonfire image inspired me to create a warm color scheme of flame yellows, orange, and red.

Faucet
The simplicity of this faucet photo struck me, and I thought the muted red-browns and blues made a lovely color palette.

Fountain Splash
The tile mosaic of this fountain snapshot gives a cheerful color scheme of bright blue, teal, and turquoise contrasting with yellow-brown tones.

Rainy Day Chill
This rainy day snapshot captures a melancholy mood with muted tones of green and blue-green. But the sun shining through the clouds keeps us from staying in a gloomy mood for too long.
