Oriental rug palette


I went to a museum today, one that is in a beautiful mansion with carvings, etc. I took a picture of the rug, and built a palette, for my own amusement — no project planned for it.

  1. That is really intense. I love it. Of course I love deep colors and tend to stay away from pastels most of the time. Cool idea.

  2. It’s a gorgeous rug, I’ve admired it before. I think looking at things like this can help with proportions of colors too — heavy on the reds, the blue as strong secondary, and the others in smaller proportions. Thanks, I may go back and make something with these colors sometimes, but I have another project (or 20) first….
