    project is for a custom mountain home builder in colorado and and having trouble coming up with a color sceme. Site needs to be clean and classy but not too dark and incorporate earth tones. Been to frontpagegraphics.com to see if i can find some inspiration and took some time away from thinking about and came back thinking i would be refreshed but nope still having a mental block. If anybody has any ideas that can spark a flame under my #@$^, it would be greatly appreciated.


    some of the colors i was playing with are

    I almost always start with the photos or graphics that will appear on the home page most of the time. In Photoshop, I use the eyedropper tool to select 3 or 4 colors that might be opposite on the color wheel. Here's my tutorial:

    Glad to hear about Man in Blue and Colorlovers.com!
