Color Palette: Top 10 of 2020

What a big year for color! Being stuck at home for a great deal of the year really gave me some time to think about color and create all kinds of color palettes. I’ve created color schemes for branding plans for clients, and I made them for remodeling rooms in our home. I even let my kids make color palettes over the summer when we decided to let them paint their bedrooms. I’ve started a new series of paintings that are focused on color and texture. Color kind of saved me this year! I thought the end of the year would be the perfect time to look back at the top ten most popular color palettes of 2020, according to YOU via my Pinterest page.

Color is a power which directly influences the soul.
— Wassily Kandinsky
