I finally ditched all my color palettes and just picked colors from a photo of my truck stop coffee cup.
I was stuck on a project last week and grabbed a shot of my morning coffee, the brown cup, the orange lid, the weird beige counter. The design I made with those colors got way more positive feedback from the client than anything I'd done in months. Is there something to be said for just pulling inspo from the random stuff around you?

My last listing's entire vibe came from a rusty fire hydrant outside.

That's a great point about finding inspiration in ordinary things. My best kitchen wall color came from the faded green of an old toolbox I had in the garage. It feels like the real world already figured out which colors work together without overthinking it. What was the weirdest object you've pulled a color scheme from?
