If you belong to Gay Ann Roger's Yahoo Group, you've probably been riveted by the color and design discussion going on there. Color is a mystery to me. I don't understand the Color Magic I see going on when I stitch and I am always flummoxed when it comes to picking colors for charted designs.
Fortunately, there's Orna Willis, color-mad color wizard. Check out the photos on her blog!

She mentioned another blog with great photos and when I followed the link, I found Kris posts wonderful photos and then puts color stripes under them that show the colors in the image. It's a great source for discovering what colors you like (pick a photo, then look to see what colors it has) and choosing colors for a design if you are Color Idiot like me.
