The Palace of King Sargon has been a source of inspiration since its construction over 4,000 years ago in the ancient city of Akkad, Mesopotamia. The palace was an impressive sight, covering 10,000 square meters and constructed from mud brick and stone, with cedar wood for the doorways and beams. Elaborately decorated with reliefs, mosaics, and sculpted figures, the palace was used by the King and his family as well as for state occasions. For coloring, use contrasting warm and cool hues to show the opulence of this ancient palace. Choose deep plums for the walls, golden yellow for the beams, and deep blues for the doorways. To bring out the intricate detail in the reliefs, mosaics, and figures, use reds, purples and golden yellows in the shadows and whites, blues and lighter yellows in the highlights. Add touches of green to represent vegetation and hints of aqua and turquoise to represent the canals that lined the city. Bring this breathtaking palace of King Sargon to life with your own unique color palette.
