I’m always looking for photos with the most color possibilities. This week is no exception. I took this photo in Portland. The umbrellas were hanging down from the ceiling, covering the ceiling.<\/p>\n

It doesn’t have as many colors as I would like, but until I start playing with the Palette Builder, I always think the photo I chose has more colors than it really does.<\/p>\n

\"ColorPlay-Umbrellas-default\"<\/a>

The Kona Earth looks like a cocoa color to me. Surprisingly the tool put some color into the default palette. I suppose it would have been really weird if it ignored the pink umbrella completely. It didn’t do much with the green umbrella.<\/p>\n

I took charge of the pink to see how much pink I could get out of the one photo. I was surprised that I got quite a lot. You can see all the dots are only on the pink umbrella.<\/p>\n

I went a little broader in my second palette. I like that Cotton Sage blue. Sage is green to me, but whatever that color is, it lends a brightness to an otherwise neutral palette.<\/p>\n

\"ColorPlay-Umbrellas-n3\"<\/a>

This 3rd palette is virtually the same as the one above except for a few tweaks. I wanted to just move the circles a little bit and see what came up. The green created Evergreen, which really looks black. I suppose I agree with the Desert Green name. Colors in the desert can be very pale, bleaches looking. The neutral palette is softer, I think.<\/p>\n

\"ColorPlay-Umbrellas-n4\"<\/a>

The fourth palette reminds me of dessert. The neutrals have a richness to them, especially the Kona Cinnamon.<\/p>\n

In general, this photo is primarily generating neutral palettes with me teasing out the least bit of color to make them my own.<\/p>\n
