5 New Color Schemes for Summer

Endless Summer Color Schemes to Inspire You

Color Schemes Set 6: Endless Summer!

Yesterday I saw where someone used one of my color schemes for coloring inspiration and it got me inspired to make a new set for summer. I am calling this set “Endless Summer,” and again my inspiration comes from Pixabay, a wonderful free photo site offering more than 600,000 copyright-free stock photos. Check out the new color schemes below, or see the gallery of all color schemes, then be inspired, go forth and create!

Endless Summer Color Inspiration

Retro Summer

The start of an endless summer begins with getting the beach–pile your friends in the bus and get there in retro style! This south-beach color scheme features sea greens and aqua tones with bright accents of salmon pink and bright sky blue.

Floating to Infinity

Nothing beats floating along without a care in the world. For this color scheme we have deep blue sky, light and dark turquoise, barely tanned skin tone and a lovely pop of red accent color.

Jewels of the Shore

When you’ve had enough of floating, take a walk along the shore, beach combing for treasures. This trio of shells gives us a soft and soothing color palette of beige, muted yellow, pale pinks, and peachy-orange tones.

Cherry Picking

Sweet and luscious ripe cherries make a great summertime snack, whether it’s at the beach, a picnic, or poolside. Bright red with a backdrop of grass green and sunny yellow make up the cheery, cherry color scheme.

Lemonade on Ice

Nothing beats the sweet and tart combination of lemonade on ice to refresh yourself on a hot summer day. Pale to bright tones of yellow are offset with cool light blue tones.
