Color choices
Vase can begin with a deep teal body and pale gold bands. Color the petal motifs coral, the scalloped trim amber, and the rim navy for contrast. Use matching plum accents around the face profiles, eyes, and brows, keeping nearby spaces cream. Finish the corner flowers with coral centers, teal petals, and green leaves, repeating those shades through the curling vines.
Vase And Faces Palette
Use warm tones for the vase and cool tones around the face profiles, while repeating accent shades in the floral border. Let the contrasting areas decide which image stands out first.
