Choosing the right and suitable color scheme for the project is one of the primary tasks of the designer. Even professionals are sometimes lost in all potential options and combinations.
Applications like Color CC (also called Kuler) and sites like ColourLovers have given us the opportunity to save for ourselves and share with other favorite palettes along the way. Fortunately, there are a lot of similar resources that help in the work. And I want to add one more - Color Lisa .
After all, in search of color, you can also look for inspiration from the world classics of painting. For example, among the masters of the Renaissance or the great impressionists or among the paintings of representatives of Art Nouveau. Thanks to the Color Lisa resource, we can see what shades Leonardo Da Vinci, Rembrandt, Claude Monet, Frida Kahlo, Pablo Picasso, Kazimir Malevich and many others used in their works.
Color Lisa - a list of color palettes, compiled on the basis of the most famous masterpieces of great artists from around the world. Its author is American web designer and photographer Ryan McGuire. Also, art historians from leading museums took part in the creation of the project, who painstakingly determined the primary colors used in the canvases of the masters.
The color palette of "Mona Lizi" by Leonardo Da Vinci. It was this picture that inspired Ryan to create the project.
Site navigation is very simple. From the alphabetical list, you can find the artist of interest and his picture, sorted by the colors of the palette with the color code for graphic programs. And to look at how the work of art itself looks directly, just click on the eye-shaped icon.
“Starry Night” by Van Gogh and the color palette on it.
The creator of the project is open to suggestions and wishes. Therefore, in the absence of a favorite artist among those represented, you can ask to be included in the list. For such purposes, the site contains a contact email.
