Sometimes working with bright and bold colors can be tricky, so it can be helpful to find one (or four) images that really convey the color story you have in mind. Just as with a full inspiration board, a color board like this can help you and your vendors stay focused, and maintain a cohesive look even with a range of fun colors.

So what do you think of the color boards? That’s it for today, but I have a few more to share with you tomorrow – and if you like them maybe I’ll create some brand new ones, too!
