Next on my list, I listened to Beyoncé’s discography and pulled color inspo from her album covers. Interestingly, all the covers with Destiny’s Child bore a visual similarity — simple monochromatic backgrounds and coordinated outfits. By contrast, Beyoncé’s solo albums illustrate the creative journey of the music within. So, the colors vary greatly for each album. Overall, earth tones — like khaki and tan — are the most consistent elements.
