Just by taking a walk outside, one can see how nature inspires designers. Colourlovers.com has a post all about butterflies, complete with stunning photos from Flickr users alongside a little color palette. Beautiful beautiful.

It’s really amazing how everything in nature is very geometrical, such as flowers and bugs. Butterflies are extraordinary in that they are also quite symmetrical and have adapted to their environment beautifully, with complimentary colors and everything. It’s as though they have their own built-in color wheel!

Here’s my contribution to the list (it’s kind of blurry, but I was in a butterfly garden and I was terrified of those things landing on me):

You can see blacks, light pinks, and yellows. It’s appropriately called a Nymph Butterfly–those are exactly the colors I would imagine in some kind of fairy tale. Maybe I will adopt to using butterfly color palettes for my future web designing or art ventures. I guess it’s true that you can find inspiration almost anywhere…!
