Amsterdam: Delft & Burgundy
Blue glaze, brick & a darker bloom.
Delft blue and pale linen cool the warm brick and oak of an imagined canal house, with burgundy held in reserve.
01 / The palette
Six colors, one atmosphere.
Screen colors are authored interpretations. Material photographs show surface character; they are not calibrated color samples.
02 / Play with the composition
Let the blue cool the room.
Separate the blue and burgundy with plenty of pale glaze. A tile panel can supply the detail while oak and linen remain broad. The deepest red works as an object rather than a whole wall.
