Color Inspiration No. 11 is a seasonless color palette but which I actually love to see in Winter. Today’s palette shows Pearl Grey, Powder, Matte Black, Mauve and Pumpkin.

We believe this palette is ready to go for any creative discipline from beauty, fashion, textiles to graphic design, food and flower styling and interior design. The scheme gets more mature with a heavy dark tint. Matte Black being an important third party, adds some sophistication and allows for some drama too. For more color inspiration, please see some former posts below.
