How do I get out of a color rut? I'm having trouble using anything other than realistic color schemes and it's making my work boring.

Pic related, an example of a color scheme I would like to be able to come up with.

go outside.
no seriously, i have a feeling your definition of 'realistic' color schemes doesn't match the true amount of variation that's out there. beyond that, just experiment. find colors you're uncomfortable using and play around with them. nathan fawkes' color studies are a good example
