Since I’m always trying to infuse the feel of the places I’ve been into my everyday life, I thought I’d create some travel palettes from some of my favourite destinations. Isn’t it interesting how the colours of each city are so distinct? I remember visiting Cinque Terre in Italy, and marveling at the beautiful pink, yellow and turquoise buildings. Amsterdam also had a colour palette of its own – mostly darker, earthy tones. I especially loved the black brick buildings there. I’m thinking of a picking out a travel palette for the next time I re-decorate…I’m kind of drawn to the Munster palette, since I’m loving all things mustard these days.
Do you connect colours to certain places? What would you say is the “colour” of the place you live? I’m thinking Toronto is red, grey, and navy blue.

what a cool post :) i live in bergen norway and i would say the color palette here is definitely a golden yellow and reds. maybe a bit of green here and there from the mossy forests and mountains :)
I love this post! It's so timely, since I was just thinking about that same thing myself-I even started a new board on Pinterest! Did you create those color swatched yourself, or find them online?
I like the mustard hue, too. Good choice.
Very cute, I love the whole idea of making a palette out of a city :)
I most definitely connect places to colours. I always associate Italy with bright colours vivid colours.
I love this post! I also very much connect colours with places, and I agree about Toronto's colours 100%!
Thanks for your comments everyone! Glad you liked the palettes :) Katrina, I did make these myself - they're from travel photos I took at these places!
More coming up on Wednesday!
Great idea! I love the colors too - Very suiting to each in feeling as well :-)
