I did something a little different today in that I was interested in how many different palettes I could create using the photo above. You can see that colors in the image are already limited.

First, I focused on the turquoise globe. I was interested in some of the colors the Palette Builder showed when I first uploaded the photo. I am constantly fascinated with creating a palette that has the right mix of contrasting blues.

Next, I moved to the more green globes and focused the circles on them exclusively. You can see more green/yellows in the tones of the colors in the palette. It is interesting how many colors there are in this picture.

I could probably play with this one photo ad infinitem. I realized that after my third try and the tool doesn’t even have the color discernment that my eye does.

I really couldn’t stop playing with this photo. The colors are relatively limited, but there is still enough of a difference, with the glare and light sources to make the colors slightly different.

I may work with this photo again.

I am wondering what a quilt would be like made from all the colors in the three palettes?
