Monochromatic color palettes with desaturated navy blues and greys for developing your seascapes and nature images! With @benthouard / The fact that blue is considered a trustworthy color has much to do with its darkest shade: navy blue. The name was coined after it was first used in the uniforms of the British Royal Navy. This deep color, paired with pearl white, looked stunning against the equally deep blue ocean and became a standard in navies worldwide, reinforcing the formality of navy blue. Navy blue is a timeless color that pairs well with most shades, and its versatility makes it perfect for exploring and creating a myriad of color schemes. It acts as a neutral color in palettes featuring bright tones like pink, lime, and yellow, while in combination with burgundy, pine green, and beige white, it evokes winter memories. In the first image of this series, the dominant color, 1c2632, is the closest to navy blue, but it has a noticeable gray undertone, making it stormier and more muted than a classic navy blue. Most of the palette uses a lighter version of navy blue, shifting towards cool grays and soft blues. This combination forms a monochromatic palette, as all the colors are variations of blue-gray tones, ranging from dark to light. It produces a cohesive visual effect, ideal for subtle, sophisticated, and atmospheric imagery. This effect is partly due to the gray touch in most of the dominant colors in the palette. Gray is a color without inherent strength, conformist, and always seeking adaptation. Whether we perceive it as light or dark depends on the surrounding colors. This subtle, adaptive quality makes it perfect for creating a sense of unity and balance in your images. Below, you can find the color analysis of image one in case you would like to implement this palette in your future seascapes or nature photography: 1c2632 – A very dark blue-gray 36424d – A slightly lighter grayish-blue 586776 – A desaturated blue with hints of gray 909eab – A soft, muted gray-blue d6dbe2 – A pale, almost silvery gray @nomadict: Which of these palettes by @benthouard inspires you the most? 🌊
