If you're one of those people that have trouble picking the right color scheme for you project, one way to do it is to turn to nature (or take a class on color theory). I've recently seen an interesting post Beautiful Color in Nature: Frogs and Toads. where the author makes up a color palette from images of animals - frogs in particular. Looked easy enough, but when I set out to do it, it wasn't that simple. So here is what I'm thinking: Take one of the pictures below and make a color palette. It is interesting to see the different combinations that will come up from the same picture. Post the result in your blog and let me know, or send it to me and I'll post all of them side by side. The easiest way to do this little project is to use a color picker in photoshop.

I am probably the last person on earth that does not have Photoshop...I have absolutely no eye for color and am waiting for the course manual to see what the local schools are offering!
Very inspirational! Thanks for sharing. Will have to give it a go.
Gina, thanks for stopping by. Photoshop is not a complicated program. It just looks that way at first glance. :-)
BlueJude, yes do give it a try and send it to me

Lara, I love the different colors of frogs. Who would have thought you could plan the color scheme for your house around the likes of a frog?! Just goes to show, nature has a lot to offer if we just take time to look.
Great blog, btw. darla

There is a nifty color palette generator on www.bighugelabs.com that I play around with a lot. I put the ladybug picture in and brought up some beautiful combinations. Give it a try and see what you think :<)
