Hey adventurer! If you came here from Pinterest, you’ve probably noticed that most of my pins are nature-inspired color palettes. It all started as a way to help my mental health. I’ve always felt happiest in nature.

One day, while walking my dog, I suddenly really noticed how vibrant and otherworldly nature’s colors looked. As a huge fantasy fan, I felt like I had teleported to another planet. All that was missing was the second and third moon in the sky.

Since that day, I’ve taken thousands of photos (if my cloud account is anything to go by). One thing I’ve realized is that sometimes the location or the photo itself may not look “authentically” pleasing—and that’s totally fine. Colors matter. How that place makes you feel matters.

If you see a sunset and those colors blow you away (every sunset in my experience, honestly), and you feel inspired to capture the moment and create a color palette—go for it.

This picture is not “Pinterest perfect”, but the colors are simply magnificent. All the color palettes in this post are derived from this image.

I hope you are inspired for your next quest =)
