Color Study: Black, White, and Pink

Welcome to my new column, Color Study! I realized that I see new an interesting color palettes every day and never share them with anyone, not even instagram! I thought this would be a great place to store my inspiration and finally take these images off my phone. I usually find the best color palettes while walking around. Today I was standing behind a lovely lady wearing a black and white striped dress, a black leather jacket and this light pink purse. It really stood out, so I nonchalantly snapped a closeup. I think when you just have a pop of light pink with a mostly black and white piece it adds sophistication as opposed to an equal spilt of pink and Black and white, which can come off young-looking.

I also found this awesome abstract painting by Lee Krasner (found here) and thought it complemented it nicely.  I have a few other BW + Pink combo images on my pinterest board. This new board will feature inspiring images with great color palettes.
