Peacock Palette

I was recently exposed to this inspiring color palette, and couldn't wait to share it with you all. It takes inspiration from what I believe to be one of our world's most beautiful birds: the peacock. Strong aquas, teals, blues, and greens can be used to manifest the presence of the peacock, or you can take the more direct route, and carry the peacock feather motif right into your design.

Now that this palette is on my radar, I've been seeing it everywhere, even in my own closet.
Benjamin Moore's Peacock Blue is a stunning color to paint the front door. It sets the tone for the whole home.

The wall tile in this power room sports the peacock in dramatic and glamorous fashion.
Much more subtle, peacock print fabric is used on a bed toss pillow, from which the wing chair and lamp base colors are cued. The palm wallpaper almost makes you feel like you are peaking into the bird's natural surroundings.

Used as an accent color, Benjamin Moore's Green is multidimensional. Actually, forget using it as an accent color, I can imagine it painted on floor to ceiling paneling in a cozy library retreat in high gloss.
Are you seeing this trendy color palette everywhere, too?
