I love this still-life photograph of a Father’s Day gift. The rich shades of blue from the tie, and ink on the coffee mug and handwritten envelope are dreamy. The neutral browns and tans from the envelope and the weathered table ground the palette and create a classic, yet stunning color combination. This palette could be used for any number of crochet or knit projects, from blankets to sweaters, ties to summer accessories. Whether you use these colors to create the perfect Father’s Day gift or use the color palette as a jumping-off point for an entirely different project, you’ll love these colors and the projects they create.
