With summer on the way, and with designers always looking for great color palettes to work from, we have decided to turn our inspirational spotlight towards the colors of summer. As we have done in the past, we went in search of some photos that have perfectly captured this season, and derived color palettes from these rich moments of summertime.
Below are the results of that effort. We have an inspiring showcase of images and resources gathered for our readers. With summer’s lively nature, we sought to capture that feeling in both the photos we chose and the color palettes created. We hope you enjoy the summertime photography and color palettes.

That wraps up the showcase and resource collection for now, but the season’s end is still far away. Which of the photos and color palettes were your favorite? Do you have or know of any other examples of summertime photography that would make some nice color palettes? Use the comment section to let us know!
