For a cooler and trendier Mediterranean vibe, try the famous Greek vacation place’s palette, Santorini! It features royal blue, white, and bits of olive green or pink shades reminiscent of the colors of the sea, sky, and Greek gardens.
Lapiz Lazuli
To give your backyard a touch of royalty, consider using the Lapis Lazuli color palette! The deep blue gemstone inspires this luxurious and soothing scheme.
You can pair the rich and deep ultramarine or indigo shades with brass accents or incorporate lapis lazuli stones actively by creating a stamped pathway border, adding decorative accents in a rock garden, or even as part of a water feature.
Emerald Escape
Embracing the color of evergreen nature can help create a fresh outdoor garden. Shades of green ranging from light to dark create a lush and vibrant environment perfect for a tropical garden design. You can create contrast by using pops of colors from flowers.
