colour lovers

I found a super fun site this weekend that definitely has the potential to be a little addictive. It's called COLOURlovers and it's "a creative community where people from around the world create and share colors, palettes and patterns, discuss the latest trends and explore colorful articles... All in the spirit of love." As I was browsing through all of the patterns and color palettes made by it's members I couldn't help but think what a great resource for those of us looking for new color schemes for a living space. This site is full of inspiration. Here are a few palettes and patterns I took a liking to...

... and here's one made by yours truly. 

So,  if anyone is reading this... I challenge you to try this out, make up your own color palette or pattern and post it in a comment so I can see them! 

color forecast

Here's a color forecast for Fall 2010 that I came across from the Pantone Fashion Color Report Fall 2010 off of the Pantone Website. It's incredible how these color choices determine what hundreds of thousands of retailers will or will not manufacture for consumers every season. Check out the color report and thumb through top designers that share how colors inspire their work.

Any of my friends (and even a former Professor or two) know that I have a thing for Chartreuse, and those sickly looking shades of green. My mom continues to make fun of me when were shopping because most items of clothing I prefer are colors you would find in an outdated 70's home! I can't help it. How about you? Is there a color or a color scheme that you keep coming back to? Are there colors that you simply can't live without?

Here are a couple other color schemes that I took a liking to, found on fashion trendsetter.
