Color choices
A butterfly rests on a tall iris blossom growing beside a stream. Try soft purple or blue for the iris petals and a patterned orange or yellow for the butterfly’s wings, so each stands out clearly against the other. Color the smooth stones along the water’s edge in cool grays, then add a few small flowers near the bank in a light pastel shade.
Compare wing patterns and background colors
Color the butterfly’s wings first, then use a contrasting palette for the iris petals and the stream water.
