Colours of Burano

Burano is the ultimate definition of a real-life movie set. This colourful architectural explosion is located in the Venetian Lagoon, a vaporetto away from the core of Venice. I would define it as a canvas for photographers and a bible for colour addicts.

Every wall, window and curtain seems to be placed where it is supposed to be. A bed sheet drying under the warm sun, the shadow of a broken street lamp, a bird cage facing the canals. Everything seems intentional and screaming for your attention.

Burano's perfect colour palette coordination feels as much like an OCD paradise as it does a lucky strike. It’s unsettling in the best way possible.

In a moment in time where everywhere feels chaotic, overpopulated and overexposed, Burano's coordination feels much more like a spontaneous orchestra than an overly curated Instagram feed.

An obvious #aestheticgoals hashtag is probably attached to shots of Burano all over the internet. But this term feels ironic once you are there melting in every corner. These little empty streets are stuck in time far away from social media chaos.

As a homage to this incomparable place, I created my colour palette guide. This is a collection of my favourite colours found in the pictures I took during my trip. Why there isn’t a book called Burano’s Pantone out there? I said it first! (drop a message if you are reading this, Pantone).
