I am going to let you in on one of the best ways to find interesting color combinations and palettes. In fact, it is one we often employ in the development of our web designs. The beauty of it is that it does not have a steep learning curve (in fact, you will find it quite relaxing). Are you ready?

One of the best places to find great color palettes and combinations is in Nature! I keep a digital camera with me at all times. Especially during the Spring and Summer, as I walk through parks, on beaches, or through gardens, I study Nature for color usage. I will often see a color palette in a flower, orchid, rock or shell, in a leaf turning color during the Fall. . . I photograph the item and add it to a digital database. Later, I will browse this database for color ideas when a new project is started.

Try it yourself. Get away from the computer and study the true master of color - Nature itself! You may find it to be a delightful source of inspiration and ideas.
