I am starting a new series of color palette posts using photos from various themes as inspiration. The first set contains some beautiful coastal inspired color palettes. These color schemes are inspired by a set of sea and ocean theme photos (courtesy of pixabay.com).

• a lighthouse on a rocky coast

• early morning sun shining on waves washing up on a sandy shore

• secret rocky cove

• board-walk along an inlet

• ocean waves crashing on a rocky shore

• sea grass on the sand dunes

These coastal color palettes from images are perfect for your coloring and artistic projects. They consist mostly of relaxing neutrals and muted tones of purples, blues, yellows, turquoise, aqua, and greens with the occasional splash of a bright hue to add a touch of excitement and contrast.

Extra Tips

Feel free to add black, white, and different shades of gray to this palette.

Remember, if you are using pencils, that you can vary the tint of a color by pressing light or pressing more firmly with the pencil.
