20 Trendy Summer Color Palettes

When asked to choose a color palette for the summer season, one would invariably pick a set with pastel colors. Even though summer temperatures can vary a great deal across the world – summer in Iceland is heavenly while in Saudi is hot as hell – pastel or typical light colors define the season perfectly. But there is more.

Though they don’t have a voice, we believe colors sing in a beautiful tune when presented with their best friends. Here are some outstanding and unique color schemes for the summer season. As always, all of these are handmade with lots of love and care. Use them well and use them to make nice things!

For me, Dustin Hoffman leisurely ‘drifting in the pool’ in The Graduate is the quintessence image of summer. I was at the end of my teen years, quite like Benjamin (Hoffman’s character), when I first saw the movie because of which it was easy to connect with him and vicariously feel the carefree and liberated sense of existence.

Furthermore, those brilliant songs from my all time favourite band, Simon and Garfunkel, made sure that several scenes from the movie were indelibly etched in my brain. The lilting opening melody of Sound of Silence along with the blue-green color of the water is what I have pictured the summer season to be.

To end this post, remember that summer colors are much more than calming pastels and light hues. Using the same sedated hues would lead to visual fatigue. Summer colors should speak out, they should attract and they should make you wide awake, fresh and energetic, ready to go out in the sun and announce your arrival to the world.
