Baroness is up again. How can I not include all their albums in these palettes? Each one is awesome. Yellow and Green is very earthy with its textured browns and golden yellows. A few pops of color help the neutrals bounce a bit as well. And as strange as the artwork seems, what beautiful line work and shading Baizley presents us. Such a super skilled and unique artist.

These soft hues are great for any interior space you want to relax in. Would be nice used in a kitchen to brighten up the space for a cheery feel or even a children’s room or bedroom for a calming, and nature inspired look.

If you want to hear music that will not only relax you, but put you in a smooth groove, Run Return is a great choice. I discovered this group years ago and fell in love. I’ve put this album on when we have guests over as well as when I am working. It just really puts me at ease with its clever beats and peaceful sound.

The color palette of the album is high saturation beauty contrasted with dark hues. A nice mix of feminine and masculine. The textures throughout the design add a lot of interest and movement as well. Look to these colors for inspiration to design a children’s room or space as well as pops of color for a wedding.

The latest album from Silversun Pickups is surely one of my favorites. Even though I like everything they put out, this one has such amazing songs. It’s one you can listen to over and over again and just love it more. The photograph on the front is really interesting, as it gives a feeling of silence and calm. Kind of like you are living in a quiet spot in the woods. How fitting.

The color palette is filled with earthy hues, both dark and light. Shadows play a huge part as well since nighttime has taken over. It’s nothing over the top but I really like it. A perfect shot for a perfect album.

Color in Films: Inception

Inception is one of those films you will remember forever. Not only do you feel you need to watch it a few times, you actually want to. A genius script, written and directed by Christopher Nolan, tells the in depth story of how the mind can do amazing things. The act of inception, in this case, is to implant an idea in someone’s mind but to do it in such a way that they will never know how it got there and actually feel like they thought of it themselves. A brilliant idea for a film I must say.

The cast was amazing and the effects the film explored were truly mesmerizing. The color palette was somewhat somber and city like. Dark earthy hues such as brown and gray teamed up with a scale of blues, beige, and whites for an all around smart and sharp color scheme. Anything but would not have worked. Bright and saturated choices just wouldn’t have made the proper contribution.

This film had me thrilled and entertained all the way through. Not to mention, giving my brain a workout. Superb production in my eyes. Definitely, one of the best films I had seen in a long time.
