Color Analysis in Nature

It's purely organic

Color in nature is purely organic. This stunning natural landscape - close to Bar Harbor in Maine, USA - shows how the rock structure, the trees, shrubs and flowers all work together to create a perfectly harmonious color palette.

Nature creates HARMONY by working from the INSIDE OUT. It's the structure of the rock that depicts not only it's own natural color but that of the shrubs and plants that live and depend on it. The whole organic package creates the tones and shades of the total color palette.

A completely different palette - Bryce Canyon

An exquisite picture of Bryce Canyon Utah creates a entirely different color palette.

Bryce is primarily known for it's brilliantly colored hoodoos, which are spire-shaped rock formations. The indigenous shrubbery is hardy and tough enough to survive the extremities of the desert climate.

The vivid colors of the red sandstone and the blue skies blend into almost a 'heat haze' color scheme.

Color in nature is alive...

The natural world is alive with color inspiration. Every leaf complements the flower and the surroundings.

Color Analysis in nature photographs have enabled me to understand how this natural way of life works from the inside out - and our own natural colorings work in exact the same way.

Your color palette is decided by Nature too...

Your color palette is decided by NATURE too and my method of Color Analysis isolates the tones that echo and therefore complement your natural coloring.  

Look at the subtle natural coloring of my all-time favorite Meryl Streep below - no garish shades for her. The soft shades of hair, eyes and skin tone are complemented by the richly blended palette of the Muted color family and appear to reflect the elegance of her persona. 

Whether you're Meryl Streep or one of the readers of my website, everyone's natural coloring works in the same way.

Nature creates our coloring at the moment of conception. It's a very straight-forward idea - connect your natural color characteristics with a matching color palette and you create HARMONY!

When you surround yourself with colors that echo your own natural coloring then you create balance. Simple!
