Color Scheme Inspiration – Suburbia

Palettes from Suburbia

Hello there neighbor!

It’s a lovely day in the neighborhood and we’re making the best of it by scoping out some of the freshest colors hidden amongst white picket fences, perfectly trimmed lawns, and cookie cutter homes.

Photos are all found via Flickr (follow image links for author info). Color schemes are available to download through COLOURlovers.

    Great colour schemes, and lovely place! I’d love to live there, I’m sick of England! ;)

    Suburban mailboxes looks great, but I don’t run an Italian restaurant :(

    I love your Color Scheme Inspiration series. From a designer who sucks at coming up with nice color palettes, you make it seem so easy. I will definitely start using pictures as a starting point.

    I love “Mall Rush” and “Storm Wash” color schemes. Urban colors are mostly exposing hues taken from architectural building materials. Grey-scale colors dominate the schemes to represent the color of concrete, metal shield or glasses.
    Great post! and I’m your new connection at COLOURlovers :)
