colour palettes

If you haven’t seen Design Seeds, you need to go and have a look. If you’ve ever wondered how to create beautiful colour schemes, Design Seeds shows a great way to do it. You can use one of the palettes they suggest, or use images and the world around you to create your own.

When I was working for a publisher many years ago, one of my fellow book designers suggested to me that a good way to come up with a colour scheme was to find a picture in a magazine or book that you liked the colours of and then pick colours out of that image.

This is essentially what Design Seeds does. And they do it so very well!
