A World of Color

I was energized to see  the post from Archello about “The Strong Use of Color” with all their many examples. I’m always looking for examples of how color can brighten and bring excitement to architecture or any design project. I thought I’d post a few here. Click the first picture link to see the full article.

This sustainable product company in Berlin, Home of Good Deeds, caught my attention. It looks like a contemporary candy store with all that color. It just makes you kinda giddy.

The next ones remind me of those colored plastic pieces that I remember linking together and building structures when I was a child. I wish I could remember the name of them.

I recall the high rise building I saw with colored balcony glass in Panama City. It’s hard to see but look closely. It was much more vibrant in person. Photos often don’t do reality justice.

And a colored building in particular helps to enliven any neighborhood. I thought this pink was pretty and bold.

I'm an artist, wife and mother of two boys. I started my illustration business, The Occasional Palette over 35 years ago, when my oldest son was an infant. Once my children were in school, I began painting decorative, faux finishes and murals through my second business, Casart, now over 30 years old. My third business, Casart Coverings, is a springboard from my second.
