I wanted to select a neutral, light-ish grey and a variety of purples to add sophistication and interest to the palette. I started with the plum color (the left one on the palette)... I think without this red-based color, the gray would look too 'cold', as the other purples are blue-based. The plum just warms up the palette and adds a lushness that I love.
I used the floral photo on the left as inspiration for the palette because I love the bright orchid and magenta colors against the perfect matte gray. I absolutely love the simple circle design on the bottom of the cake and how they create the new shapes at their intersections.
Yay for new inspiration boards! They're my favorite.
Sigh . . . been waiting for a gorgeous purple and grey palette from you! So glad you are doing one. I loved your thoughts on the magenta and why it helps so much. You're right, Ms. Colorologist.
