I found this one last night at Ikea. It’s right next to where I bought these tea light holders. And then dropped them on my driveway as soon as I got home.

Lucky thing is, they only cost 1.99. So. Not so much money down the tubes. But, anyway, I thought these colors looked very interesting. I’m a sucker for that green. And the pink and cream is nice, while the red and black were a little more unexpected.

Today’s been one of those days where even though I’m not doing physical work, the mental capacity it takes has made me physically tired. Maybe that only happens to me, I have no idea. But I got in and was hit with about 4 different projects that all needed to be done IMMEDIATELY. Plus my meeting with a VIC (Very Important Client) that I had almost no time to prepare for. 

So, anyway. Colors around here are not inspiring me lately. But i did find this online.

This is an ad. For some site that when I got there I was totally disappointed and didn’t even take the time to figure out what it was for. (hello, mentally tired) But I love the colors. I wish there was maybe a hint more of the pink/de-saturated coral.

So number 65, which I drew today, is a week-long one, I feel. I’ll post one a day. Starting now. 

But first, the idea: Find several color combinations you respond to in public. Document them using swatches, write where you find them.

I’m going to pull in a few that have been striking me in the past month, from the most public place in the world- the internet!

I really liked the bold colors. When I was looking for bedding for my new bedroom it almost made me want to re-paint my room. But I don’t think I could handle turquoise walls in my bedroom. A living room, though…

Polyvore is a site i found yesterday. I might use it to create my swatches if such a thing is possible. But, I saw this, and though I don’t wear gold, the coral and gold is really adorable.

Finally, this shirt from Target. (I love Target) I took this with my phone. I love these colors, I love the pattern, Everything about this shirt was perfect except that it didn’t fit me. Woe.
