Ages ago, during my quest to design a sampler for my friend's little girl, I came across these gorgeous websites (thanks to Wild Olive's suggestions - I hope she won't mind me repeating them). I came across them again whilst tidying up my draft blog posts the other day and got distracted by them all over again.
They have some scrumptious colour palette suggestions and I'm tempted to get lost in them again looking for some interior colour scheme inspiration. This one could almost be the inspiration for the colours in our living room carpet.
They're a really good way of learning about colour too I think, especially if you're not that confident with mixing colours together (either in what you wear or things around your home). Using an image you like - either one you've taken yourself, or one you've seen in a book, magazine, blog (!) etc - as the basis for a colour scheme is a great and simple idea. All you need to look at is the blocks of colour and 'separate' them out (as these websites do for you) and, hey presto, you have your colour palette.
I hope you enjoy them as much as I have!
