Great inspiration challenge today has us taking a look at pleasing palettes.
Thank you Audrie for the beautiful Asian image. I thought it would fit perfectly with my selected palette, #9 ... refreshing and pretty. I wanted to keep things unencumbered, so a smaller size image was in order. Yours worked perfectly.
Surprisingly, I gravitated to 'refreshing and pretty'. I say surprising because it's so not my style. I'm all about black, gold, more black and then more gold. I love things in perfect harmony. I don't necessarily perceive #9 as being in harmony for me but it was definitely appealing.
The colors are 2 shades of turquoise, yellow and pink. Got those covered with layers and the kimono. I added a Magenta Asian sticker gifted from Anne Dodd a few years ago.

Another example of your perfect sense of proportion and balance. This is simply stunning. The white on white embossed panel makes such a perfect backdrop for your striking image. Great colors.

You came out of your box beautifully and did some wonderful justice to this palette, Anne looky, looky, you even threw in some black and a gorgeous gold sticker and your balance is perfectly achieved. My MIL always said of decorating that every room needs a touch of black (I think you would like her;)
