Barbados. The gorgeous blues of the Atlantic coupled with the Aquas of the Caribbean and the calico prints of Bright Pink and Yellow make for a most beautiful color story.

Spain. I associate Mediterranean Blue and Spanish Clay with its ornate architecture, and Tomatina Red for its lively and spirited people.

The Maldives. I was blown away by the vibrancy of the colors. Above water everything sparkles, and below it's even more intense – the fish, the coral, the underwater vegetation. The natural palette there is so inspiring: Sand, Turquoise, Jade, Coral, Sunburst Yellows and Oranges.

Lima, Peru is one of the most richly colorful cities in the world. Lima is a mixture of Old and New World cultures that meet at varied stages of development. There are many different architectural styles such as Spanish Baroque, French Neoclassicism and Art Nouveau that, when mixed together, make the city an arena of color and art.

Ports 1961 by Fiona Cibani
The majestic landscape and allure of White deserts. A humbling array of earth and sky notes creating an ombré of colors between dusk and dawn is the most colorful location in the world. Muted colors of the landscape are paired with Gold and Silver sold alongside rich spice hues of opulent bazaars.

Rebecca Minkoff
The Grand Bazaar in Turkey. It covers 58 streets and is full of spices, food, jewelry and leather goods. I was instantly drawn to the brightly colored spices and teas, which is from where the Burnt Oranges, Deep Yellows and Warm Nudes of the collection are derived.

Venice, Italy. The soft dusty colors of the landscape were appropriate for the upcoming season. The Pale Blues and Soft Taupes give a feeling of romance and elegance often found in Italian paintings and architectural elements.

VPL by Victoria Bartlett
Kenya and all the prints from the Masai Mara. I'm very inspired by African prints, the overlays and color combinations. I find their use of colors extremely modern.

Yoana Baraschi Rajasthan, India. You can almost imagine the nomad tribes adorned in Pinks, Corals, Turquoises and Yellows entering the Pink City (Jaipur) – an explosion of maximum spectrum colors under the brightest sun I know.
