Embrace the Sunshine: Yellows that Glow.

"The Phoenician Scheme" embraces yellows that are anything but ordinary. Imagine rooms bathed in a warm, inviting glow, reminiscent of sun-drenched landscapes and nostalgic memories.

Serene Yellow: This gentle, calming Serene Yellow is perfect for creating a tranquil and inviting atmosphere in living rooms or bedrooms. Pair it with natural wood tones for a truly serene retreat.

Loving Yellow: A slightly more vibrant and joyful yellow, Loving Yellow brings a playful energy to any space. It's ideal for kitchens or creative studios where you want to foster a sense of happiness and inspiration.

Regenerative Yellow: For a truly unique and refreshing take on yellow, Regenerative Yellow offers a subtle yet impactful hue that feels fresh and invigorating.

Oranges: Warmth and Character.

No Wes Anderson palette would be complete without rich, inviting oranges that add depth and a touch of the unexpected.

Loving Orange: This cheerful and warm Loving Orange is perfect for adding a burst of energy to a dining area or a playful accent wall.

Secluded Orange: A more muted and sophisticated orange, Secluded Orange creates a cozy and intimate ambiance. Think reading nooks or a refined study.

Greens: A Breath of Fresh Air.

Anderson often weaves refreshing greens into his palettes, grounding the vibrant colours with a sense of nature and tranquility.

Graceful Green: This elegant Graceful Green is incredibly versatile, working beautifully in almost any room. It pairs wonderfully with both our yellows and oranges.

Mindful Green: A deeper, more contemplative green, Mindful Green is perfect for creating a serene and focused environment, perhaps in a home office or a quiet reading corner.

Teals and Reds: Unexpected Delights.

And of course, it wouldn't be Wes Anderson without those surprising pops of colour that tie everything together!

Mellow Teal: A soft and sophisticated Mellow Teal that can add a calming yet intriguing touch to any room.

Secluded Teal: A deeper, more mysterious Secluded Teal that adds an air of sophistication and depth.
