So I've been doing this thing for a while where I use the colors inside a palette to make phrases. Has anyone else ever tried this? It's a lot of fun! :D

Here's an example of what I mean:
















Alright, Lovers, show me what you've got!

Lots of lovers do this! I won't go through all of my palettes, but this one comes to mind.

These are great! I love how creative everyone is on this side. <3

Most of my palettes speak through colours. I even opened a forum about the way in which colours speak...

Palettes that speak in colours

Sweet Nightfall and Stress Test do not belong to this type of palettes... Most of the colours' names are unrelated in meaning...

... and I adore a palette created by sluz:

:D

i've seen a lot of these. we also have a similar group where words are linked together to form the palettes. its called wordlinks. you might like it. :)

And I've got a few that are hockey related. :D

Awesome, everyone! :D

Never fear, mgm_303, no one in the thread stipulated that all five colors need to be part of the phrase or sentence. I don't want to be stifled and I certainly don't wish to stifle others' creativity. Sometimes the perfect color is already taken and you have to make do with what you have.

I have heard of wordlinks, Lizcrimson, but I've never really gotten around to investigating the group. Looks cool, and thanks for sharing!

Lol! I just said the colours on those palettes do not read like a sentence… you can’t deny that, can you?… real creativity has to do with making all the colours fit like a sentence in the palette… It’s just my point of view… And I see all the other colourlovers who made their contribution to this post agree with me since ALL their colours make perfect sentences… Nothing to do with stifling: lots to do with being clever to make them fit, just that…

=D

I must admit that I cheat sometimes. I'll go to the Create New Color screen, enter the hex code for the perfect color that's already taken, then change it just a tiny bit -- add 1 to the last digit, say, enter the color name you want, and press "+Add". If that color's already taken, then I might add another 1 and try again ...
