I am still very busy creating colour palettes. I hope some day I'll find the perfect combination to use for my web site, and then I just need to find about a month's time to update the whole site…!

The funny thing is I find myself using colours in my palettes that I wouldn't normally even dream about touching. For example light pink. Light pink is a colour that doesn't suit my skin tone at all, I look completely washed out in it, so I would never wear it. But strangely it works wonders in many colour combinations as it makes a lot of other colours seem warmer and more alive. See here for examples:

Another colour I found myself using a lot are brown tones:

And here is the one that the COLOURlover community so far likes best:

It was inspired by the combination of that awful terracotta coloured living room in Eastleigh with my mainly red sofa deco, and I am astonished how well it worked out.

I've also been playing with blues and greens but those resulted in pretty average colour scales as produced by many others too. It's actually hard to avoid the trodden paths and sometimes I can't help it I simply have to try my hand on some of those standard palettes too.
