Pink? Really?

Man. How badly out of calibration are people's monitors?

Pink? On my monitor (which I flatter myself to think is pretty well calibrated) that color (far left) is a very light tan. Almost like a coffee with lots of milk.

Yeah, mine looks like coffee with lots of milk also. However next to the other colors it does have a bit of a "flesh" hue to it. I like the 4th color a lot. I agree with sandy that the 1st color does not work as well with the rest as another color would.

Welp - The important thing to remember is that this is a starter palette. Some of those colors you will see only as highlights, others as the beginning/ending of blends, etc. You will never see them in this balance again (strangely this looks, to me, like Neapolitan ice-cream every time I look at it, and I want to add bubblegum-pink to it so that all the flavors are present).

Hm, I agree the first color looks rather weird. I like the fourth one though.

Well, the colors are often affected by angle of the screen - when I don´t look at it at very precise angle, I get this light pink-ish scheme :-)

Turns out as I've started working with it, I've learned to fricken hate it. The color scheme should make me hate it that fast, so it's scrapped now.

I can't wait to see what next exciting one I fall upon.

Me too. What happened to the pantyhose palette?! "Toffee", "honey", "ecru", or the like? Something somewhat warmer would be great.

Otherwise, I love the new site. Thanks boss.

Well, I certainly HOPE she has legs... :wink:

Otherwise she'd be doing a lot of 'bumming' around....
