I do from time to time crave colour and tend to bring that through in my accessories. My inspiration will come from lot's of different place but I am a prolific blog reader so I would say blogs and pinterest provide a lot of inspiration for me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/color-inspiration#post-1001858 Thu, 08 Aug 2013 22:09:31 +0000 T-Rex 1001858@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Duh. I see Texstyle had the same idea. Sorry about the repeat. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/color-inspiration#post-1001851 Thu, 08 Aug 2013 22:04:50 +0000 Mellllls 1001851@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I go by instinct. I love color. I realize that is not super helpful. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/color-inspiration#post-1001848 Thu, 08 Aug 2013 22:01:37 +0000 T-Rex 1001848@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This may be a lazy way of finding inspiration, but I usually begin with a print or a multi-colored piece of jewelry that I find attractive. Then, I use that piece to pull together everything else. </p> <p>You may find inspiration here, if the sheer number of possibilities doesn't overwhelm you. <a href="http://www.colourlovers.com/palettes" rel="nofollow">http://www.colourlovers.com/palettes</a></p> <p>There are probably other websites&nbsp;out there&nbsp;like colourlovers.com. I suggested this one because it's been around for a while. I remember browsing there off and on several years ago. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/color-inspiration#post-1001744 Thu, 08 Aug 2013 19:10:29 +0000 Anonymous 1001744@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi Christieanne, I have a board for my soft autumn colours : <a href="http://pinterest.com/dibev/soft-autumn-colour-inspiration/" rel="nofollow">http://pinterest.com/dibev/sof.....spiration/</a><br />And I also love this website: <a href="http://design-seeds.com/index.php/search" rel="nofollow">http://design-seeds.com/index.php/search</a>. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/color-inspiration#post-1001731 Thu, 08 Aug 2013 18:50:11 +0000 texstyle 1001731@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This web site can be helpful once you figure it out:</p> <p><a href="http://www.colourlovers.com/palettes/search?query=olive+red" rel="nofollow">http://www.colourlovers.com/pa.....=olive+red</a></p> <p>I also use Pinterest or Polyvore&nbsp;and search for&nbsp;"Sets" using keywords like "Camel V-neck" or "Black dress". </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/color-inspiration#post-1001717 Thu, 08 Aug 2013 18:33:39 +0000 milehighstyle (Linda) 1001717@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree with unfrumped -&nbsp;I think it is more difficult to put together an interesting neutral outfit than one with a lot of color.&nbsp; You can&nbsp;use color as your interesting factor, and just pull a combo off a computer screen or magazine page, whereas with neutrals you really need texture and details and great fabrications&nbsp;to take you from blah to wow, which is a different approch from just grabbing a few complimentary colors.&nbsp; Probably why I am dressed like a peacock most of the time. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/color-inspiration#post-1001699 Thu, 08 Aug 2013 18:14:13 +0000 unfrumped 1001699@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It's interesting that although I garden, and combine flower and foliage colors, I haven't been using that much for outfit inspiration. Maybe I will more in the future as I move away from black, if possible. I think it may be because I have been dressing conservatively and&nbsp;with a fair amount of &nbsp;neutrals, that I need the photos of actual wardrobe items--shoes and belts and jewelry--because I may want to still use a lot of neutrals, but combine more of them and in&nbsp; more interesting ways. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/color-inspiration#post-1001659 Thu, 08 Aug 2013 17:45:19 +0000 TraceyLiz65 1001659@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love Pinterest for searching what others have done with combining colors. &nbsp;<br />You can see my boards here</p> <p><a rel="nofollow" href="http://pinterest.com/traceyliz65/boards/">http://pinterest.com/traceyliz65/boards/</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/color-inspiration#post-1001649 Thu, 08 Aug 2013 17:39:14 +0000 milehighstyle (Linda) 1001649@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Same as unfrumped - YLF, blogs, InStyle.&nbsp; But also I'll get color combos from art (paintings, photographs, even billboards and ads), and&nbsp;nature (birds, sunsets, animals, landscapes, gardens).&nbsp; Today I saw a slideshow on Who What Wear with some great ideas:<a href="http://www.whowhatwear.com/your-ultimate-guide-to-wearing-color-this-summer" rel="nofollow">http://www.whowhatwear.com/you.....his-summer</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/color-inspiration#post-1001620 Thu, 08 Aug 2013 17:19:55 +0000 unfrumped 1001620@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have been trying to get less organic and more intentional, since organically I have been very boring!</p> <p>Inspiration has been from YLF, some other&nbsp;blogs, &nbsp;InStyle mag. I tended to&nbsp;just look at top+ bottom and&nbsp;was not bringing in another&nbsp;color in&nbsp;footwear or necklace or something and not figuring out what was complementary. After looking at photos more, &nbsp;I began to "see" the extra colors &amp; textures in use. I&nbsp;don't spend much total time carrying a&nbsp;handbag or even wearing&nbsp;my own toppers so&nbsp;I&nbsp;finally realized that footwear,&nbsp; necklace, &amp; belts&nbsp;are my main options.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/color-inspiration#post-1001613 Thu, 08 Aug 2013 17:13:16 +0000 christieanne 1001613@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Just curious. Where do you find inspiration for color combining or mixing? Anyone have sources or is is more of an organic process for you? </p> <p>I find I get obsessed with a certain color palette for a bit then bored then switch it out. If I could turn off my obsessive habit it would save me from the boredom right? <br />If you have color boards on pinterest, I would love to see them - link if you want! </p>
