One of my greatest inspiration for colors and patterns in my beads are the works of the masters such as Monet and Van Gogh.Â
There is a cool tool on Big Huge Labs that creates harmonious color palettes based on photos. So you could upload your favorite paintings and instantly have the colors listed for you. Of course you’ll need to know how to mix the colors!

That is very cool. Thanks for the info.
This is a fun tool. I used it a few months ago as part of my “Evolution of a Color Scheme” series a few months ago:

I love the colors in that painting and the way you translated them into clay beads. I’ve been doing something similar lately, using fabric for inspiration. Fun!
Love, love, love those beads, Heather. Wonderful translation.
