Colors of NYC

For awhile my life was split between Fort Lauderdale, Florida and New York City. Going back and forth, I was always struck by the color difference between the two cities, especially in the winter months. Florida was lush and green with with sunny pastel accents and New York was colorful but in a gritty and raw kind of way. Julie Cloutier of Facing Desks had captured some of the colors of NYC in this great NY Color swatch book.

I have more or less seen this concept before from a paint company. In there print ads they take a square chunk out of a single item such as a hay bail and use it as a paint chip.

This takes it to the next level capturing something far less tangible. The paint chip reflects the feeling, mood and/or tone of the environment. Cool.

Next time I head into the paint store I will remember to bring my favourite photos.
