It’s been a while since we’ve had some good color inspiration around here.
Take a look…
Longe Foods
Although each bag only contains two main colors, the branding as a whole sticks with colors that are the roughly same value (see what the color samples look like in greyscale!).
Frog Eye
Interesting implementation of complimentary colors red and green, but not Christmasy. Why? Because the red is almost magenta and the green is more towards the yellow and has had quite a lot of white added, so it’s lighter.
Kolachy
This is a great example of a monochromatic (single color) scheme. Icon design from Von Glitschka.
Flow Yoga
This color palette feels fresh and contemporary, yet kinda retro. It’s definitely fitting for a yoga company and it’s good to see the art director’s vision carried through to the photography colors, too.
Happy Birthday to Me!
Seeing as today is my birthday (Happy Birthday, Me!) I thought I’d sharesome birthday cake wrecks with you. I think Cake Wrecks is the next LOLcat.
“Mayhaps this is why the rum is always gone, eh, maties?” So maybe this doesn’t look so bad at first glance, but head over to Cake Wrecks to read the commentary (and the comments, which are just as funny!).
Erm… why?
Ok, so this isn’t a wreck, it’s just plain awesome! I’ve never seen anything like it before.
Enjoy your Friday!










Happy birthday!
C’mon — the Tom Selleck cake is rockin’.
Congrats Lauren! Enjoy your day! Nice inspiration, thanks for sharing.

Happy Birthday Lauren!
I too love colour combinations. When I was choosing my blog setup pallet a few weeks ago, I used the Adobe “Kuler” website (at kuler.adobe.com ), which is a fantastic resource may I add. I would recommend it to anyone interested in colour combinations and pallets.
Who’s the bloke with the hairy chest…The Hoff or Burt Reynolds?

Oh, Tom Selleck, I missed your comment Alec. I see it now…
A belated Happy Birthday to you, Lauren. And thanks for the colour inspiration. Love the chicken!
Happy birthday!
Wow, Whomever Emma is, she’s a lucky girl to have a cake with Tom Selleck on it!

Happy Birthday Lauren
The flow yogo is interesting and I liked the “letterpress like” ornament in the background
My faltering net connection had me miss your birthday, but I hope it was a great one! Fingers crossed that today has brought the end of my new home internet provider woes.
Keep me a slice of Tom Selleck’s hairy chest. Or are those maggots? Urghhh
Andrew,
Yeah, I’ve seen Kuler before. I’ve heard that it can be integrated into your CS programs, too (or maybe that’s an upcoming feature?).
John,
It may have been belated in Japan but not here! I think I like almost all of Von’s work (referring to the chicken), except maybe the worm things, though those are still visually captivating in their own colorful way.
Alex,
Hehe, everyone is liking that cake! It’s an amazingly good rendering of him, but… on a cake… with pink flowers… yikes!! And if you think those are bad, check out some of the others.
Esben,
That and the colors just really pop because they fit so well together.
I think that’s why I liked the yoga one, too
David,
Delicious!
Sorry to hear about your connection problems (erm… that sounds weird)! Yes, wonderful hairy chest on a birthday cake.
Happy Belated Birthday!
Thanks Jesica!
Happy-happy-happy slightly belated birthday
Wishing you tons inspiration (color and otherwise) and fun!

Aww, “tanks“!
oh, my… it’s been ages since I read my feeds, and now I’m paying for it with missing your birthday
Happy Belated Birthday, Lauren! Wishing you all the best things you would love to wish for yourself. Hope you had a wonderful day and a beautiful yummy cake.
Vivien!!,
My birthday was fun; thanks for the wishes!
I was just thinking about you last night! I keep checking my reader and IB to make sure I didn’t miss a post. Miss your wonderful smile there… and here
Thanks, Lauren. I was wondering if anyone has noticed my silence on iBit
Anyhow, I’m back now with a new design for Inspiration Bit. Let me know what you think of it, please.
