Limited Color Palette:
This pattern has a limited color but that is what makes the pattern successful and beautiful. It is from a book cover that is about design. The simpleness of the flowers gives it an elegant look.
Use of Neutrals:
This is a close up picture of a pair of shoes I own. The sparkles of the shoes are all sorts of colors, and catch the light as one walks. That would seem like too much however the base color of the shoe is a dark gray which makes the shoe not overbearing.
