Drawing a blank on colors
I am so having designers block right now. I have this great little idea for an online journal (no, not a blog, though it could seem like one) but I cannot find the right color scheme for it.
Every now and again I go through this. I start off with what I think it the base color scheme, then when I go through various hues and such, my inspiration just leaves me. And so I am left with the frustration of seeing gray no matter what colors I am looking at.
I thought that I might like Greens at first. But I cannot make green work. So I looked at Reds. Then looked away because I have never been able to do anything with red.
That brought me to my old favorite Blue. But I have done so much blue that the thought of using blue for something else makes me sick. So I considered orange, but the only colors that works really well with orange are gray and blue, so that kind of threw that out.
So now I am stuck looking at Webby 2.0 type colors. Pinks, light blues, neons, etc. And that has even less appeal to me.
That being said, I think I am going to take a few design days off and see if I cannot find inspiration elsewhere. Like at Starbucks. Mmmm, Starbucks.
