Color palette from the masters of painting: Color Lisa

Choose a successful and appropriate color scheme for the project - one of the primary tasks of the designer. Even professionals are sometimes lost in all potential variants and combinations.

Applications like Color CC (also called Kuler) and sites like ColourLovers gave us the opportunity to save for ourselves and share with the rest of our favorite palettes. Fortunately, there are many such resources that help in the work. And I want to add one more - Color Lisa .

After all, in search of color you can also look for inspiration from the world classics of painting. For example, the masters of the Renaissance or the great Impressionists, or among the paintings of representatives of modernity. Thanks to the Color Lisa resource, we can see which shades have used in their works Leonardo Da Vinci, Rembrandt, Claude Monet, Frida Calo, Pablo Picasso, Kazimir Malevich and many others.

Color Lisa - a list of color palettes, compiled on the basis of the most famous masterpieces of great artists from around the world. Its author is an American web designer and photographer Ryan McGuire (Ryan Mcguire). Art historians from leading museums also participated in the creation of the project. They painstakingly determined the primary colors used in the canvases of masters.

Site navigation is quite simple. From the alphabetical list you can find the artist of interest and his picture, disassembled by the colors of the palette with the indication of the color code for graphic programs. And to look at how the work of art itself looks directly, just click on the icon in the form of an eye.

The creator of the project is open to suggestions and wishes. Therefore, in the absence of a favorite artist among those presented, you can ask to add it to the list. For such purposes, the site has a contact email.
