Legzira Arches Color Psychology & Meaning

Legzira beach is famous for its huge sea arches of red rock, glowing at sunset against the Atlantic, and this palette is cliff red with sea blue. It feels monumental and fleeting, the color of arches that the sea is slowly taking back.

Industries This Palette Suits
