Do you find that you tend to use the same color scheme over and over again? If so the following ideas are sure to help you use colors in a more inventive way.
1.) CLOTHING- Go to the mall and check out what's hot for the season. Every season is marked by a new season.
2.) MAGAZINE COVERS- Covers are designed to catch your eye, and the colors are a big part of that impact.
3.) ETSY SHOPS- Try the search by color feature at etsy.com to look for fun projects and use the color schemes.
4.) PAINT CHIPS- The paint sections of home improvement stores have walls of color ideas.
5.) PRODUCT LOGOS- Companies pay alot of money to have logos analyzed for their impact on people. Take advantage of the research.
