Bellflowers in the Mossy Forest

Join me as we dive into a palette inspired by bellflowers nestled among golden moss.
Summer 2024 was truly inspiring for creating this color palette.

Resting in the forest is a “must-have” for me during the hot summer. It’s hard for me to rush through a hike because I’m captivated by the beautiful colors around me. I discovered this enchanting bellflower while hiking between Barefoot Lake and Black Lake. I hadn’t planned to take that trail—it just caught my eye as I passed, calling me to explore. Now, I know why: that beautiful palette was waiting to be found.

Now, let’s break down the color palette I created, inspired by Bellflowers in the Mossy Forest.
