Behold the rainbow eucalyptus (Eucalyptus deglupta)! This large evergreen tree grows up to about 60 meters (197 feet) tall and is native to the dense, humid forests of New Guinea, Indonesia, and the Philippines. What gives it such a spectrum of color? When strips of its bark peel off, they change in color: bark starts out in shades of green, then transitions into purple, red, and orange as time goes on. Continuous peeling helps the tree keep its trunk clear of other plants. And having a vibrant range of colors is thought to help it absorb a wider range of light to aid in photosynthesis.

Just in case you forget this exists.

It exists.

With those “when you want to design a character but you don’t know color theory” posts flying around I thought this would be relevant again.

SLAMs THE REBLOG BUTTON

there’s also Coolors website that gives you randomized palettes!

Don’t forget ColourLovers, either! It’s a social media-esque site where you can browse tons of palettes and share your own.

You can browse the most popular ones or search for certain colors, themes, and even specific hex codes!

When you find one you like, you can download a wallpaper swatch of it and also select the specific colors it uses to look at more palettes that use those same ones.

ColourLovers is my go-to for when I’m having trouble coming up with a color scheme! It’s also been around for over a decade, so there’s plenty to browse through.

I do love me a good color palet.

Aaa yes these websites are gr8 💛💛💛
