Color Palette: Forest Life
Forests feel magical. Teeming with huge trees and tiny mushrooms alike, there’s something special about a walk in the woods. There are so many things to notice and enjoy. The colors of the forest can vary greatly, but the deep greens are my favorite.
“Into the forest I go, to lose my mind and find my soul.”
I hope you enjoy this collection of forest inspired color palettes! If these inspire you to create I would love to know. Leave me a comment below, tag me on Instagram or Facebook (@paperheartdesign), or send me a message!
PLEASE NOTE: These color palettes are created by hand selecting colors from the inspiration image. Not all colors included are specific paint colors. Because I am a graphic designer I include hex codes, which can be referenced for digital use. If you want to match a paint color my best suggestion is to take your phone to a paint store and compare color chips to these images. Happy creating!

I hope you enjoy checking these out and I would love to hear how they inspire you! Let me know which is your favorite and what you would use it for (interior decorating, wedding colors, branding, wardrobe, painting, etc.) in the comments.
In an effort to foster a creatives community I’ve started a Facebook group called Art is a Record, the same name as this blog. I would love for you to join in the fun as we discuss creative living, projects, art, and life.
