A natural way to get a fresh color palette

This is so simple and I love it. Design icon Barbara Barry gave a little secret that I would like to keep to myself, but here it is. For a simple color palette with contrast and variety with a cohesive feel, select a few different beach rocks and match their color.

All of these colors work so well together

I love the yellow with the dark gray and the white/cream tones


A muted combination with warm and cool tones

Next time you are out enjoying nature, grab some smooth rocks that catch your eye...and hold onto them for your next project. Use these colors for wall and fabric color combinations.
