Everyday Inspirations: A New Favorite Color Palette
A little while back I started a post series that was to take inspiration from my daily life. I kind of forgot about it until a few weeks ago when I looked across the stormy sea of my desktop and spotted four objects looking back at me in the loveliest color palette. I am now obsessed with these hues together and am declaring them my official Early-Spring colors! What do you think? What are your current color crushes? xo Ez

i really like the coral/salmon color! i just saw it on a stripped t-shirt last week and i was happy to say: wow, this is spring already! pretty nice palette!
I must be craving a bit of Summer in my world right now because I can't get enough of aqua, lemon yellow, bright orange, and bright green...like an old Pyrex bowl full of citrus basically! Even though it is currently sunny here in Seattle, those bright colors are very helpful in getting me through the drippy Winter days around here.
I love your color combo-the addition of the red really makes it pop!
Absolutely gorgeous - love the warmth of the coral with the coolness of the blue - bellisimo! so so yummy. great collection! I covet that pouf, and the book. love the wall - oh and the sweaters - oh bother - I love it all.
I am always a big fab of coral. Never would have thought to put it with blue, but oh my, that is a lovely palette you've made! I have a palette of sherbet hues that make a creamy vintage dream.
I actually just posted about it on my new blog yesterday!

I just bought that pouf from CB2...can't wait to get it! I think you'd love my living room (see on my blog) ...has some of those blues and I will be adding the pouf to go with it. I just knew those colors could work together!
Gorgeous! I am in love with orange and aqua at the moment; pinks and reds are a close favorite. This post is so inspiring; thanks for sharing!
digging the color palette! I forgot how gorgeous coral really is!
I just knit myself a lovely chunky coral-colored cowl, and I've been planning to pair it mainly with greys and blacks. But looking at this grouping - now I'm thinking it wants to be worn with a royal blue sweater and pink shirt! Thanks for the inspiration!
oh, ez! these colors are positively love, and some of my favorites! i love your blending of them with the paints! i really love that pouf too. i can just imagine resting my feet on it, reading a good book!
I so love this color palette, i really want those sweaters
The addition of the salmon color adds a fun punch to the nautical feeling I get from this palatte. The images you collected are beautiful and inspiring.
I'm having the same reaction...something about this color combo is just so pleasing to the eye! Love it for spring fashion...interiors...parties...
Wow I love all those colors, so bold and exciting.
Thank you all so much for your sweet comments! I'm so glad you all like these colors just as much as I do. Now I just have to figure out how to incorporate them into my life/home somehow. Any ideas? xo Ez
I really love the coral and turquoise blue color combination ~ it just works!!
Beautiful - I became obsessed withi turquoise and coral a couple of weeks ago and am now trying to use them together anywhere I can.
Such a beautiful post and palette for this weary snowpocalypse survivor! Thank you, Ez!
This is the color scheme that I use in my living room. Isn't it a fantastic combination? Here's a peek at a little corner of my living room (third image from the top): http://designfixation.blogspot.com/2010/02/blog-it-forward-what-inspires-me.html I have not, however, utilized that delicious salmon color - thanks for the idea!
My son brought home a worksheet from preschool last fall with these colors scribbled all over with a little gold added ... and I put it in my "idea" book because I just loved the colors together. You never know where one might find inspiration.
I just started writing in my line a day journal on Jan 1st- so fun seeing it on your post! :)
I love these colors together! i got married in May and these are pretty similar to the colors i had for my wedding
I hope you don't mind, and I should have asked your permission first, but loved this inspiration so much, that I used it as inspiration for my own wedding board. Link is here, next time, will let you know first.

The shade of the pink is what I like the best with these color palettes. This color is very cold in the eyes but very beautiful.
