Can you tell I'm ready for Spring? This Water Lily Palette kind of says it all. Its rich greens and purples look strong enough that you could almost step on them and float on the surface of the water. After all the grays and browns of winter, it's time to put some color back into our lives!
Leora says
Yes, that's a springy combination of pleasing colors!
Meredith says
Thanks Leora!
Ken Dowell says
Monet would have jumped on that palette.
Meredith says
Ha! That's a high compliment Ken.
Andy says
"This Water Lily Palette kind of says it all."
I must respectfully disagree, because there's no frog. A water lily palette is simply not complete without a frog!
Meredith says
Haha! I'll see if I can find a frog next time for you Andy!

HI Meredith - while on this site I also checked out your Cherry Blossom palette and your spring leaf one - it would be a really tough to decide which one to choose - all three are beautiful, although this one, other than the pink being a deeper purple, sort of combines them.
Meredith says
Thank you Lenie! That's why I do these color palettes - there are just too many beautiful combinations to choose just one!
Donna Janke says
I love how you pull colour palettes out of photographs and art. I like the colours here. I can envision this as a fresh look in my home office.
Meredith says
Thank you Donna! I agree, these would be inspiring colors for an office.
Anita says
Makes me want to return to Giverny--Monet's home with the famous waterlily pond. Lovely!
Meredith says
Yes, field trip!
Christine Larsen says
Although I'm not a green person, this water lily palette is gorgeous. But my heart is torn asunder by deciding between the Robin Eggs and the Cherry Blossom. Thank you for brightening MY day Meredith... and nice to meet you.
Meredith says
Thank you Christine, and nice to meet you too!
ballnchainz says
Very nice... the water lily palette reminds me just how far away we are from spring but is a great distraction from all the snow and ice we have had the last two weeks.
Meredith says
Thanks! I know spring is a way off, but a girl can dream, right?
jacquiegum says
Absolutely gorgeous! Love the combination of the green and eggplant especially! Or does eggplant belong on a water lily???
Meredith says
Ha! Perhaps eggplants don't actually go with water lilies, but I do love the colors together!
Tim says
Stunning photo; crisp and clear. Your palette is very cool Meredith and can see that in a sun room for sure.
Meredith says
Thanks Tim! The sunnier the better!
William Rusho says
Never thought of those color combos before, but they seem to work. I too am looking forward to spring.
Meredith says
Thanks William!
Jason @ TheButlerJournal.com says
Great colors. I am also ready for Spring.
Meredith says
Bring on the sun!
Marquita Herald says
Oh I love the colors Meredith! I know most people think that we pretty much have one season in Hawaii but that's not exactly true. Spring is just as special here because for just a sort time wild gardenias, orchids, pakalana (my favorite flower for leis!) and jacarandas bloom all over the Islands and it is really amazing. in fact the road going up to Mt. Haleakala is lined with jacaranda trees and when they all bloom - usually beginning in April - it is truly breathtaking. Yep, I'm also ready. 🙂
Meredith says
Oh my goodness, I'm so jealous! One more reason to want to visit Hawaii!
andleeb says
I love your color Palette Meredith. This photo looks amazing here. Thank you for selecting this. I really love the combination of colors. Great to think that Spring is approaching us.
Meredith says
Thanks Anna, and thanks for sending me the inspiration!

Green is so serene 🙂 I miss the green I used to have in the front bedroom/office of my house. Maybe I'll give an accent wall a try soon.
Meredith says
That's a great way to try out another color! I love green too, but couldn't find the right spot for it in my house, so I painted my laundry room green. 🙂
Kire says
Already too much green in my house (said no one in my house ever). Never thought it mixing earth greens with dark purples.
Meredith says
That's what I love about green! It can be earthy or bright, and mix with just about anything.
Johanna says
ooh, I like it--I love the dark purple in the picture. I think many water lily pictures have light pink or white flowers and that seems to dominate the color palette.
Meredith says
That's why it caught my eye. I'm used to light and airy looking water lilies, but this one was so deep and dark and mysterious!
revelbos says
Hi Meredith,
I'm right there with you being ready for spring. This water lilly palette is gorgeous. The color combination is soothing and invigorating at the same time. Thanks for sharing!
Meredith says
Thank you! I like that description - soothing and invigorating. 🙂
