Easy Peasy Decorating

I’m not sure why this is the first time that I found this gem of a site, but I’m sure glad that I did. When I’m working on a new project I always ask the client to give me anything they are inspired by whether it be an article of clothing, something ripped out of a magazine or a favorite picture. In seeing this I get a better idea of what their style is and what colors they lean towards.



If you are decorating your home yourself and want a little help in the direction of what color palette to go with in a certain room I think this site will make it easier.



You can download whatever image you have as inspiration and it will generate for you in a matter of a seconds a color palette to go along with it.



Here is one that I did just for fun this morning. It’s a shot of me being silly at Pebble Beach:

I also did one with of my favorite images from Domino:

I could keep on doing this for hours, but I have an appointment at 10:30 that I must start getting ready for so I leave you to go off and have some fun.



Share some of your inspiration pics and color palettes.

Oh, so so cool! I may need to start doing this with my wedding boards to pull out the dominate colors. I always try to pull them out myself but it never winds up seeming right!

This is great. Thanks for the link. Quick question. Is the site generating names and numbers for a specific paint brand (behr, etc) or the mixing code?

Thanks for the help.
