Ever notice how the colors in nature are perfectly harmonious? You can look at a forest, a sandy beach leading down to the shore, a pile of rocks, a field of flowers or any natural scene and find millions of colors that beautifully complement each other. Mother Nature is the ultimate colorist.
If you need color inspiration and just don’t know where to start, or if you aren’t sure what colors really work together: look out the window. You could visit a local park, go down to a nearby lake, take a drive in the country or just step outside and look around you. Use the colors you see in nature as a jumping off point to help guide you in choosing a color palette that speaks to you. Then, use your color inspiration to guide you in bringing new colors into your existing rooms by choosing new decorative accents, new paint colors, or, if you’re ready for a completely new look, redecorate an entire space.
Note: I used Adobe Photoshop (eyedropper tool) to isolate colors in my photos. The color combinations you can find in any photo (or in nature) are limitless.
The following photos show how adding small or large infusions of color can have an impact in a room and also by using warmer or cooler tones it can change the mood.

It is very cool how you pulled the color palettes out of the photos.
