Adrienne has her eye out looking for inspiration all around Austin. Whaddya think?
Austin is a gorgeous and colorful city, with plenty of views to inspire any home's color palette. Bring a little bit of urban edge to your home with these colors inspired by actual Austin graffiti!
I'd keep the bulk of a room a cool neutral with layering of light and dark greys, and then bring in the punches of color with selected upholstery, throw pillows and accessories. While a bit bold, the dark, deep purple could also act as a neutral when partnered with grays and add a lot of interest to the room as an accent wall.
What do you think? Would you ever consider using graffiti or wall art as color inspiration? How would you use these colors in a space?

I think the pink on the wall would look really nice with the turquoise and purple as an accent.

DannyNYC it freaks me out in a good way too. In fact I stumbled across this whole little grotto of urban art while walking to the grocery store one day. There's this abandoned building on the corner of our main drag here, and behind it is an old apartment building. The walls, the stairs, the dumpsters--even chairs are all covered in wall art. It's amazing!

Where in Austin is this? I'd love to get a picture or two of it myself.
