Last year was mine and Dakota's first Christmas living together. So, naturally, we had to decorate. Well, I needed to. Dakota probably couldn't have cared less.
I really wanted to keep things classic, in terms of color. I love when things match. It's kind of an OCD thing I have. I think its part of what makes me a great designer. But its kind of an issue as well, because I can't break out of that box sometimes.
But that's a story for a different day.
Today is time for a color palette! All about Christmas! This one is a little similar to the Fall Palette I showed a while back. I think the main idea for Fall and Christmas is warm, inviting colors.
I just love classic colors for Christmas. Do you stay classic or do you go for the new aqua blues and other colors I've been seeing lately?
Let me know in the comments!
Enjoy!

I love color. I love color palettes.
It is all just so organized and beautiful.
And when I discovered Kuler, I fell in love.
Kuler (pronounced "cooler", btw) is a color palette tool.
It's pretty stinkin' awesome.
You can do things like shade palettes..
Or do something different and do a compound palette..
Or you can even upload a picture and create a color palette from the image, like this fall themed one below:

I thought this would be a handy tip for all of you, designers and non designers included!
Especially for blog design!
Also, Kuler has an extension for InDesign, Illustrator, and Photoshop.

P.S. I was not compensated for this post. I just love Kuler and thought you would too!
I said the other day how I really loved sharing some of my inspiration with you. Well, I'm at it again!
This time, its for Fall.
I know, I know. I am a little behind.
But it's still fall. It's still fall until snow is on the ground.
Which has already happened for some of you poor souls. I love the cold, but I don't think I could handle the snow. You are brave. Very, very brave.
My point is, it is still technically fall. Mother nature sometimes forgets that. :)
Enjoy!
