HUEsday...daring orange

Orange to Red gradient with lots of bright icy Turquoise and cool dark Blues for contrast.

For people who know me it's no secret that I've got a little feud with the color orange. . . I can't explain why, but it kinda repels me most of the time.
But helping out Mom with renovation lately, I had to face a lot of orange. . . There's lots of reds, oranges and especially aged, orangy shaded wood furniture to find in her apartment. All that is supposed to stay, because of budget, so had to come up with ideas how to combine these tones with other materials and hues so it would look . . .well, more bearable. ;b

Here's some combinations I could actually start liking. . .;)

Cooler light salmon-colored hue with brighter orange combined with shiny Lime Green and bits of Rosé.
 Bright Kimono worn in Shinto Ceremony

Nature's creativity: Orange hues divided by bright pinky Violet plus greenish Yellow highlights!

qick HUEsday ...sketching CI colors

aaaannnd. . . it's tueHUEsday again!
Man, how fast this week faded away. So much do-tos for college.
But . . . take this quick titbit of palette making from today's REviving my Colourlovers.com account

Started a tumblr microblog last week. . .
rather a personal virtual refugium for visualizing my dream of a life (to be) . . .
Maybe the universe will start turning spirits towards removing the barriers on my path to reach that dream. . .if only I visualize it often and stern enough ;b

Anyways: these were my color choices for the layout. Liked them enough to make a palette. . .

What do you think of it?! =)

rainy HUEsday ...need Coloooor!

. . .Bwah! . . .

That was not so nice of Mrs.Weather today. >.<''
Some mean windy fizzy raindrops falling and flying around. . . Not even the biggest Leaf Umbrella could keep you dry.
That kind of climate calls for some cheering up!!

And what could help better than a biiiig worshipping shout out to all the
GREEEEEENS of the world!? =D

Happy Color HUEsday

Gave the posting schedule a further thought...
From now on, forget about Tuesdays...let's make it HUEsday!

Color inspiration galore!!!

Today I was sneaking about the web agein scouting some layout inspirations for portfolios.
(I'm hoping to have my portfolio and  application done soon, so I can go out and find a place to do an internship or jobbing.)
I'm still not totally sure about which colors I want to use for the layout theme.
I was shoving around some colored and textured paper bits to try finding a match.
Going to show you when I'm closer to a decision. ;)

Here are some finished and well worked out graphic designs by other artists and designers, which I immediately attract my attention. Wha do you think? lime? aqua? lemon? ^^

Today's Palette / CaipiStraws +PatternSeries

After long time without any post (I'm really busy with college tasks, work and family issues lately...=/) here's at least a quick new Colour Inspiration for you. ^^ This time the trigger was cleaning up after a nice TV-night at home to which we treated ourselves with a glass of self-made Caipirinha. ;) When I threw the rests of lime bits and colorful straws out of the glass into the sink the other day, it looked so nice, I had to do some Copaso ;).

Color-Quest or: how blogger Holly Becker's book made my day brighter without even opening it

german

english

Today I got back from college, where I scavenged our uniquely well sorted library again and took a bite on the sunny balcony with my newest prey: the German version of Holly Becker's Interior Design book DECORATE! ^-^ Some of you might know Holly as the writer of decor8 - one of the most popular lifestyle & interior decoration blogs out there.



Since it's a library book, they removed the book wrapper and I was totally in love with the color of the naked hard-cover already when I saw it standing in the shelf.
Because the german edition's cover looks like this:

WHAAAAHH - OMG FUCHSIA!! =D ;P

Oh, and here's just a little sneak peek of the inside;)

BUT! Now to the clue!

What happend was this: I layed the book on our kitchen table while I was making some green tea and then just en passant I turned around and there it was!
 

A DREAM of Color-Combination!!!

Maybe it's just me, and maybe I'm crazy, but THIS must have been one of those "happy accidents" Bob Ross  (r.i.p. <3) used to talk about!

I had used a small mirror with a green frame before, that was still lying on the also green covered table, next to the package of my green tea bags, and one of these kitchen clips in pink as well as my only retro-rosé knife were also (fortunately) not put away yet.
All this together gave me an instant Kick of Joy!!! I just HAD to get my camera!

C'mon isn't it splendid?!!? =D

After being so unexpectedly and extremely inspired I decided to go on a COLOR-QUEST through our apartment! =) 
(that's just so much better to spend an afternoon than working on exam preparations.. ehem...*whistling innocently*)

Here's what I found....
(And pleeeease please excuse the bad photo quality on some pics...My camera's not of the newest technique and already has some errors and focus problems... If anyone has a DSLR camera for sale??...MAIL ME! ;)
