Keyword Challenge: Desaturated

What we are looking for

• Desaturated is a muted color palette.
• Use washed-out, toned-down hues, such as soft grays, dusty pastels, or desaturated greens and blues. Avoid bold or overly vibrant colors, focusing instead on subtlety
• Pair muted tones with gentle contrasts. Avoid harsh black-and-white contrasts, opting for off-whites, light beiges, and soft grays 
• Emphasize clean layouts with ample negative space. Desaturated tones work well in minimalist designs that highlight the subtleties of your color choices.
• Draw inspiration from nature or vintage photography

What we are looking for

• Modular design is often achieved by using grids to align elements, ensuring they can snap into place with other designs easily.
• Try shooting a batch of photos in similar lighting and styling, creating a cohesive batch that can be mixed and matched.
