I find the best stuff on Creature Comforts. It’s a must read in my out of control Google Reader which is so often subject to “mark all as read” cleansing.
A couple of weeks ago, Ez featured something called the Color Palette Generator.
As a lover of “things,” I’m charmed by the idea of taking a picture of a favorite objet or painting and generating a color palette to use for decorating a room. This is exactly what the Color Palette Generator does, and Ez provides a little tutorial:
I immediately tried to do this with a couple of images that I’ve featured here.
This lovely little painting by Liza Hirst:
And then this magnificent chair found on Absolutely Beautiful Things:
Unfortunately, neither worked for me. So I think I need a tutorial for the tutorial… In the meantime, I’ll just have to look through existing palettes. Let me know if you can figure out why I’m getting errors. Or…maybe not. This could be a major time suck…
That's strange – I tried a jpg of my fave Kate Spade ad as a test on the Color Generator and it was perfect. But then I tried yours and it had a weird message! However it made me laugh b/c it said something like readimageblob. HA!
I love the color palette generator, what a cool idea! I adore that chair, the shape is fantastic and the fabric it's covered in is so pretty.
If I am able to work the coloe generator well I'll let you know!
Love this beautiful blog of yours!
