Blue and Yellow
 
Blue is the color most associated with calm and relaxation. While this means that it’s often used in bedrooms, soothing blues are a great option for a creative space. Because of their de-stressing potential, blues create a non-threatening space where you will feel comfortable unleashing your inner creativity. Starting with a Zen mental state is a great way to approach creative work because it helps you cut out distractions, anxieties, and self-doubt, leaving room for inspiration to drop in. 
 
While blue is great for creating a comfortable and relaxing creative environment, combining it with a vibrant yellow will add a whole new dimension to your space. Yellow is one of the happiest colors, and it’s also highly energizing and invigorating. Using yellow as an accent color in an otherwise relaxing and calm space will provide just the right amount of energy to get you creatively motivated. 

​Green and Pink
 
Many artists say that they find some of their best inspiration in nature, so green is a logical choice for harnessing the creativity found in the great outdoors. Green is a soothing and stress-relieving color, but it also has associations with the vigor of health and youth. This makes it both relaxing and energizing depending on the circumstances and the exact shade of green you choose. It’s also very easy to incorporate greens into a creative space without having to redecorate: just add some hanging plants above your workspace and you’ll find that their pop of color makes a huge difference!
 
Pink works well as both a subtle accent and a vibrant pop of color, depending on the tone and shade. Combining pink and green reinforces that feeling of bringing the outdoors inside as it recalls the beauty and natural inspiration of botanical gardens. Pink is also associated with a loving and nurturing environment, which is exactly what you want to banish artistic insecurities and spark creativity. ​
