A vibrant Nordic palette with jade greens, deep teals, and misty mountain blues to evoke the fresh, alive feeling of Norway’s summer valleys! With @viktor.asztalos.photography / Our brain is especially tuned to greens and blues. When we look at things, the brain doesn’t process every color equally. Studies suggest it pays more attention to light in the green and blue parts of the spectrum. This is likely because recognizing water and vegetation was vital for our ancestors (Bevil Conway, 2014). Exposure to green is linked to lower heart rates, reduced anxiety, and greater well-being. Blue evokes peace and security, associated with clear skies and clean water—feelings reflected in the first image’s dominant hues, according to color theory. In the first image, the luminous turquoise river (64c7c2) winds like a jewel through fields of lush emerald (4a8b34). Editing these tones involves cooling the temperature, boosting green and aqua saturation, and muting yellows to keep greens crisp. Mist-gray blues (7d8ca3) cloak the distant mountains, adding depth and an ethereal haze. This effect is achieved by cooling shadows, lifting blue luminance, and softly reducing clarity in the background. Grounding the scene are forest greens (2d4c23) and stormy slate (555d6d), providing contrast and balance to the brighter mids and highlights. Together, they tell a color story that is alive and peaceful, capturing the essence of Nordic summer light. Here’s the color breakdown: 64c7c2 (river turquoise) – 31.7% 4a8b34 (emerald green) – 26.4% 7d8ca3 (misty blue-gray) – 21.1% 2d4c23 (deep forest green) – 12.5% 555d6d (stormy slate) – 8.3% Each tone complements the next, creating a palette that feels strong without being oversaturated, making it perfect for your landscape edits. This is supported by research from Wichmann et al. (2002), which found that people remember images with moderate saturation in greens and blues up to 20% better than oversaturated images, as these colors feel more “natural” and hold viewers’ attention longer. @nomadict: How do you shape the feeling of openness and freshness through color in your landscapes?
