The care bear theme makes me smile! I’m kind of in stylefans camp with autumn leaves, but with less green maybe and also some stormy seas thrown in! jussie on "My palette’s Care Bears.

I find it surprisingly versatile.  Also it has been nice having olive green so popular the last 12 months, it's been fun experimenting with it.  Style Fan on "My palette’s Care Bears.

I wear mostly mid-to-dark neutrals (black, navy, olive, camel, grey, cognac, denim). However, when I wear color it tends to be fairly vibrant (orange, orange-red, cobalt, turqouise, purple, green/gold). The colors remind me of our vibrant AZ sunsets, the ocotillo and barrel cactus blooms, and the azurite and malachite that sometimes colors rocks from the copper mines.

Janet, cindysmith, la ped - super. And Tokyo night is so fun for Katerina! I’ll have to think a bit on my color palette ... it seems a bit of an unconscious favoring of certain color combinations...I’ve seen a photo of smooth river stones with the blue/green of the water running over them, and dark red leaves floating in the water. Browns, grays, blue/green...accents of burgundy and rust. cindysmith on "My palette’s Care Bears.

What’s yours?" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/%e2%80%9ccare-bear%e2%80%9dcolour-palette/page/2#post-1911590 Sun, 22 Apr 2018 01:01:07 +0000 jussie 1911590@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ cindysmith: I am intrigued by your palette and your dystopian sensibilities. I love the creativity and unconventionality of it. Joy: explosion at the Crayola factory is brilliant, why not?  Janet: Those colours are so beautiful, and your work looks incredible.  It's interesting how you gravitate to the same palette with your clothing.  Maybe theres some kind of vibration there, on an energetic level, at play? If you believe in such things...Also I wonder, do you play with adding the rust colour into your outfits the way it is often present in your photos? It contrasts so magically with those greens and blues.... Katerina: I'm glad you like the Tokyo Night pic.  It really does remind me of your look! La Ped: Very interesting palette inspiration.  Also how you are inspired by the way space is broken up.  I can see that in the uniglo garment examples you posted earlier.  It's so much about the PLACEMENT of the colours and blacks for you.  For me I think it's more about how particular colours vibrate next to each other.  I am trying to get more cognisant of textures and placement too, but I think with time that will develop further.   LaPed on "My palette’s Care Bears. What’s yours?" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/%e2%80%9ccare-bear%e2%80%9dcolour-palette/page/2#post-1911402 Sat, 21 Apr 2018 16:37:53 +0000 LaPed 1911402@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Thought a lot about this last night. The colours and combinations I'm drawn to can be found in landscape paintings. Doesn't even matter which school or era -- Flemish, Hudson Valley, you name it -- colours that evoke the natural world but not what we typically think of as earth tones. I like the drama, the attention to contrast, and the question of when and how to break up open spaces. Janet -- the pieces you show are gorgeous! Katerina on "My palette’s Care Bears. What’s yours?" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/%e2%80%9ccare-bear%e2%80%9dcolour-palette/page/2#post-1911383 Sat, 21 Apr 2018 15:58:45 +0000 Katerina 1911383@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Thank you Jussie! Tokyo night is great! Janet on "My palette’s Care Bears.

But it fits, and the soft colors are really nice on you.  Mine is more like Diana's, but with a bit more light mixed in. The colors move into lighter, brighter territory with the fall and summer seasons, but tend to stay on the cooler end of the color spectrum: Lots of black, some white and some grey Lots of teal, cobalt, shades of blue and green in light to dark tones A healthy dose of burgundy/wine Accents of rust and occasional orange or coral My eye even tends to gravitate towards those color schemes in my artwork...

I will have to think about this as I have and like a riot of colors, mostly midtones and a few brights and pastels. Maybe explosion at the Crayola factory? cindysmith on "My palette’s Care Bears. What’s yours?" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/%e2%80%9ccare-bear%e2%80%9dcolour-palette/page/2#post-1911324 Sat, 21 Apr 2018 12:27:02 +0000 cindysmith 1911324@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ My palette is dirt. Blacks, browns, tans, greys, dusty pink/blush tones. Which is fairly perfect for my geographical area. We have mud called black gumbo where I work, there's clay that looks like melted chocolate here where I live, the red clay is topped off by something called sandy loam, the dust at my work is literally grey, and the dusty pinks look like household dust. I do have some olive and blue tones mixed in as well. Which makes this random picture of a rusty car in the middle of a desert in British Columbia fairly perfect to sum up my color palette. It also resonates with my dystopian sensibilities ;-) I do have a few burgundy pieces mixed in, which speaks of the rust in this picture. For my workout hear, I've actually been drawn to pops of obnoxious color. Bright turquoise, acid yellow, screaming pinks. I'm struggling to begin an exercise regimen & lose weight, and I felt that the bright colors were energetic, so I'm hoping they help. I did allow myself one pair of grey leggings with olive accents just because I apparently can't stop myself from trying to look like this old car in a desert LOL I think care bears is a great color palette: happy, bright, soothing. I like that you've named your color palette after them. jussie on "My palette’s Care Bears.

Dark violet would be fabulous on you. I haven’t seen much dark violet around lately.... it must be due to come back in soon. I will try to think of a name for your palette. Hmm give me some time....Tokyo Night is coming into my mind for you..... see inspo pic Katerina on "My palette’s Care Bears.

Fun! Thank you for starting this thread. I actually cannot describe my palette or find a moniker. I was thinking and thinking and no, cannot. I wear very many colours and as I normally don’t vary my silhouette, I crave colour variation. What I need in my outfits to be happy is high contrast, drama. So for me, it lies in the combinations. There are some colours, which are my favorites, my happy colours: Ice pink Hot pink Black White Cobalt Darker emerald Charcoal True red Citron Dark violet Basically strong bright colours. Would love to have a colour moniker. Will work on it jussie on "My palette’s Care Bears.

Fascinating. I really like the sound of all of these but Nebula fascinates me, jewel tones on a dark background is always glamorous. Also torontogirl, I guess schools choose that palette for their uniform because it WORKS! La Ped your examples are beyond cool.... they’re ultra cool.... Thanks everyone for the ideas.

I try to stay true to the color scheme but lately some olive has been creeping in. The painting is named The Black Sun and was done by John Marin in 1929 and depicts his vision of New York City.  Jjsloane on "My palette’s Care Bears.

I have A LOT of red, white and blue. I accent with turquoise, orange, and camel. but the bulk is red, white, blue or a combination of those colors (plaids and patterns). I recently banished black from my wardrobe. It's not a happy (or flattering) color for me so I shipped it all to a girlfriend.  I have been trying to get that marimekko top from uniqlo since it came out! Helena on "My palette’s Care Bears.

This "Others" series by Anne Bishop would fit right into my closet. Jenni NZ on "My palette’s Care Bears.

I can't particularly think of one right now: faves are cobalt, orange, red, black, teal,turquoise, purple, pink,olive, silver-green... plus black, white and grey. The old Carole Jackson "Colour Me Beautiful" "Spring" palette. If anyone can think of a book or series to fit would be great! Tina on "My palette’s Care Bears.

YES! I love your palette description as Winter Court! I'm loving all these creative palette names -- much easier way to think about how colors fit.
