Design Palette: Rose Campion

Back in February I created a video showing where I get a lot of my color inspiration. As I was taking yet another photo tour of my garden, I decided to create a blog series to post some of the palettes I love.

Today's inspiration is the Rose Campion (Lychnis coronaria), a plant that could be found in English cottage gardens in the 1600s as well as the gardens at Thomas Jefferson's Monticello. I love the muted, almost celadon, silvery-sage green of the stems and foliage paired with the plant's incredibly bright pink-to-fuchsia blossoms. Here's one possible palette, followed by some of our favors that feature these colors.
