Color Palettes from Sweden

Here are a few color palettes I extracted from photographs I took in Sweden. The first one was a photo of a several strands of yarn, samples of dyes. The second one comes from a few photos taken at the Dala horse shops, which are connected to the factory. The most famous color for the Dala horse is red, but they have almost as many white, black, yellow, and many blue in a few shades, some purple, and a couple other colors. Also included a little in the palette are some of the colors from the kurbits painting design on the horses, which is pretty delicate, not apparent on a wide view, but part of a color scheme when looking closely at a row of horses to choose your favorite.

The palette from the interior of a rural church has very classic colors, I think. The gold and bronze type colors in here are mostly from fixtures and ornaments, chandeliers and gold leaf. These are found even in small rural churches and I would say in a small church these colors became an obvious part of the overall palette. Very pretty with the kind of antique sky blue and very dusty kind of light blush tones.
