My Colortopia: Part 2

 A couple of weeks ago, I introduced a fun new gadget to ya'll- the My Colortopia webpage! Glidden has developed this online tool as a resource for all of us paint obsessed gals and guys who need a little inspiration when it comes to color. Previously, I shared the "My Life, My Colors" quiz, which helps you find general color schemes you may like based upon your personality. But there's actually a tool that I love even more... the "My Image Inspiration" tool!


In addition to browsing the site's inspiration gallery, you can actually upload a picture of something you'd like to use in a room... fabric, a piece of art, furniture... and it will generate an instant gallery of coordinating colors and schemes that you can use!

 Here's an image I pulled into the tool- a piece of fun fabric from Tonic Living. I've always loved pairing bold colors and patterns like this but often have a difficult time finding what neutral, more subtle coordinating colors to use along with the bold prints.


 I simply plugged in the fabric bu uploading it to My Image Inspiration and....


 How great are the coordinating color recommendations? I wouldn't have thought about the sage and cucumber color palette on the top right, but they look great with the deep raspberry!

It's really that simple. Plug in your image and get inspired.

I'd love to know what y'all think! Are you planning a new design in your home? Need a little color inspiration? If so, plug in some photos over on the My Image Inspiration tool and have a ball!

 I have been sponsored by Glidden brand paint to write this post but the thoughts and opinions expressed are my own.

  2. Very cool! I love the colors in that fabric, but can see how it would be hard to coordinate - great tool to use!
