Another clever idea, but for those people who are confused & indecisive when faced with thousands of choices at the average paint store, I can't see how combining thousands of individual colors into tens of thousands of possible palettes is going to help the situation any.

For most amateurs, the problem will not be finding a nice combination--which should only take a minute, tops--but mentally eliminating the ten thousand other equally attractive possibilities, which means the end result will be little different from choosing from a huge pile of single-color chips: a hung jury.

And in most households, all that such a color-decision impasse on the part of the putative decorator means is that the person least interested in such things & least qualified to judge will end up casting the deciding vote out of impatience, just to break the stalemate, which unqualified vote is generally the first step down the slippery slope to decorating disaster. But I guess I'm getting ahead of the game. Again. Memo to self: don't awfulize.

OK, so that decided, I started backwards, by checking out the "Ugly" palettes, and didn't see anything all that terrible. Sure, several palettes were boring, but the only thing that was ugly about most of them were what they referenced: pond scum, nosebleeds, mildwew. Most of the color combinations themselves weren't bad at all and some were downright handsome. Then again, I've always liked the soft celadon-velvet look of citrus mold, so perhaps I'm not the best judge of these things. At any rate, I need to redo my bathroom's upper walls, and that limpid green Aquarium Scum mix looks to be just the thing for the Art Deco stencil design I've got in mind.

I love this idea, and I haven't seen anything really like it out there. Great find! Thanks!
