Spring 2020 Color Palettes

Share the goods.

That’s right! It’s time for another spring color palette blog! We know you guys love these, and honestly? We do, too.
Since things are a little weird and dreary right now, we figured we’d brighten your day with some beautiful color palettes from our graphic design team. Without further ado, here are our badass spring 2020 color palettes.

Fresh Air

Nothing says spring like the outdoors. Seriously. If you haven’t gone for a (socially distanced) walk, you’re missing out.
This color palette captures all the goodness of spring in one package. The different blues reflect the gorgeous spring sky, while the orangey pinks match the blooming flowers outside. Or, at least they would if it ever stopped raining.
Try this palette on for size for a microsite or digital images that scream spring. It’d also be amazing as event (or wedding) colors, but that’s just us…

Work from Home

Okay. So that’s what it looks like outside, but we’re sure you’ve been seeing a lot more inside lately. Fear not! We’ve got a color palette for that.
We’re channeling our inner Stay Home, Stay Safe for a color palette that just screams comfort. The greens represent your favorite indoor plants, while the whites are for that oh-so-coveted toilet paper (who would have ever thought we’d be saying that?).
This palette’s great for a rainy spring day. Try it for an invite to a digital event, or even just use it to redecorate your office. Get creative! Now’s the time.

The Spring Break that Wasn’t

Or maybe it’s the Spring Break that’s going to happen next year. All we know is that we’re obsessed with dreams of travel right now, so why not share those in a fun color palette?
These bright colors have us thinking about spring sunsets, bright flower blossoms, and all the fun of visiting new places. It’s like all of our favorite things about the season rolled into one palette. Maybe it’ll inspire some awesome trips in the future.
Use this palette for any sort of eye-catching design you need, including social media graphics, website hero images, and more. Just maybe bring some sunscreen if you do. We’re already starting to get sunburnt.

Can’t get enough color? Check out our summer, fall, and winter color palettes. Once you do, get in touch with us. We can’t wait to work with you and make your true colors shine.

Who made all these rules anyway?

Don’t wear color. Don’t share your ideas. Don’t put yourself out there. Don’t talk about your family.

We’re told to follow them, but @bodespeaks says question every single one. Then uncover your big hairy audacious goal, throw out the rulebook, and build a personal brand that actually works for you.

Thank you to Aggie and Cristy for having Kim on the @badass_women_in_business Podcast and, well... for being total badasses.

We had some fun in the office this week and asked some of the 8THIRTYFOUR team what “square up” means.

Surprisingly, the Gen Z of the group got it, but one of our Gen X’s did not (not saying any names…)

How do you “square up”?

The 834 Learning Hub is where we throw fun shindigs, where cool people come to work, where Big Deal Energy gathers, and where we push you to get uncomfortable.

It’s not your typical event or coworking space - and we like it that way. The lighting, colors, wallpaper, layout, and yes, the dogs, are all very intentional.

If you need a spot to host your offsite team training, leadership quarterly, photo shoot (dogs can be included), or you just need a space to network or cowork - reach out.

We got the goods:
- A sweet sound system
- State-of-the-art digital whiteboard
- A really big T.V. Like it’s big.
- Your own private entrance
- Free parking
- A dog (or two) if you ask nicely

Drop us a line at hello@8thirtyfour.com or click the link in bio to rent the Hub today.

We love Dr. Karen May’s mission.

What if we taught our daughters AND our sons about women’s health, hormones, and pregnancy? Not as a whispered “talk” or a one-time awkward conversation. Just normal dinner-table stuff.

The girls deserve to know what’s coming (perimenopause shouldn’t be a surprise party nobody wanted). And the boys? They’ll be partners, dads, coworkers, and bosses to women going through all of it.

Thank you, Dr. May, for sharing your best practices to keep the women’s health conversation going at our Uncomfortable Conversations | The Pause event.
