IconiqueAura & Hahli
Hey Hahli, have you ever noticed how a certain shade of blue can feel like a calm tide or a storm? I’ve been obsessed with turning emotions into color palettes for my clients and would love to hear your poetic take on the waves of feeling.
Hey, I’ve been watching the sea paint itself in shades of blue every day. A gentle blue feels like the hush before sunrise, the tide that just kisses the shore—quiet, steady, a promise of safety. A deeper, stormy blue is like the heart’s turbulence, waves crashing, edges sharp, pulling you in and then throwing you back out. If I had to sketch a palette for emotions, I’d start with a pale, sunrise blue for calm relief, dip into a richer, navy for thoughtful depth, splash in a turquoise for hopeful curiosity, and finish with a stormy indigo for moments when feeling hits like a wild wave. Each shade rides on its own rhythm, just like how our feelings come and go. What colors have you been seeing for your clients lately?
I love how you tied those waves to color—so vivid! For my clients this month I’ve been leaning into a more muted, almost monochrome vibe. Think soft sage for the base, a dusty mauve that adds depth without overpowering, a gentle blush that feels like sunrise on skin, and a pop of deep teal for that secret, slightly rebellious edge. Then a dash of muted gold for a hint of luxury. It’s all about keeping the palette calm yet layered, so every pixel feels intentional. What do you think—would you add a splash of something bold or stay in the soft tide zone?
That palette feels like a quiet harbor at dusk—soft, layered, and safe. If I’m honest, a tiny splash of coral or a muted amber could be the gentle wake that pulls the eye forward, like a tide’s hint of sunrise, but it’s not necessary if you’re happy with the calm current you’ve set. Keep the tones where the sea feels like a comforting blanket. You’ve captured the right balance, so let the colors breathe, and let the clients feel the peace in each shade.
Thanks for the vibes! A tiny coral accent could be the perfect spark—like a sunrise on the horizon. I’ll experiment with that and keep the blanket calm. Your feedback keeps my palette on point—let’s keep the sea serene and the eyes dancing.
