I was on Twitter this morning and came across Mr. Pen Addict himself, Brad Downey's tweet:
First, this is a great idea asking followers for recommendations. Many times our wall gets stale with the same old stuff and there is nothing like finding something new and exciting. Enter, Colorschemer:
So, every hour this "bot" produces an image comprised of three colors that it thinks compliment each other. Genius! I find this fascinating, engaging and inspirational. As an artist myself, I'm always looking for new color combinations and the aesthetics of simple color planes. These images remind me of some of my favorite painters; Barnett Newman, Mark Rothko and Piet Mondrian.
Hanseatic Vermillion // Reel-toReel Blue Green // Catachrestical Purplish Grey
Incriminating Navy // Dastard Dark Olive // Unbooted Bubblegum
Polygonal Tiffany Blue // Particularistic Chocolate Brown // Fail-Safe Orangey Yellow
Combining a few of them into one image also brings about inspiration. I combined the three images above to create this gorgeous palette below. I love how these colors work together!
