Flower Power Goes Purple

Some of the best flowers of the season are purple—lilac, lavender, and violet, just to name a few. Each shade of purple seems to have its own personality, too, from the soothing feeling of the lighter hues to the royal tones of the darker ones. Yet these variations of purple also work incredibly well together, especially with a few darker greys and slate colors added in for contrast.

Fairy Tale Forest

For a mysterious color scheme that still has an element of nature, go for darker colors accented with gold or champagne shine. Think of the color of the sky when a spring rain is on its way or the cool shadows under a weeping willow—this is the vibe you can capture with a fairy tale color scheme.

Pastel Throwback
