Masthead #53 – Groovy, man

I really love the muted, earth-tone colors of this image. Besides my unexplainable, abiding love for the color turquoise (seriously, I own about 11 shirts in the same hue), I’m usually drawn to earthy tones (my bridesmaid dresses were brown and the flowers were orange). When I went to Pantone’s site, I realized that all of the colors I liked the most were from the 1970s. So…let’s just blame that on a deep nostalgia for the era I grew up in, OK?

What colors are you drawn to?

  1. I love this masthead!

    I am drawn to bright pinks and oranges and jewel tones. I really like BRIGHT things. :-)

  2. I love this! Will you be making it into t-shirts?

    I’m a blue person – I like different hues for different things, but I like them all.

  4. Pantone, how I love thee.

    Great masthead! I am drawn to turquoise lately, too. A deep turquoise. And deep, russet orange and vibrant, cool reds. I love the combo of turquoise and red together in artwork. Love it. Love the combo of turquoise and russet orange together in clothing.

    I love red all the time, turquoise has only entered into my obsessions about a year ago.

  5. I really like the colors you used! Most of my shirts are either pink or black. Pink is my fave though.

  7. Oh, that’s awesome, and I love that 70s palette too. That said, all my clothes are shades of black.

  8. Oh I love that too! I would say my drawing colors are oranges, bright blues, and light greens. I also love just about anything with brown; orange, pink, turquoise, etc.

  9. I love this header! It’s dynomite! Based on the link to the other colors I am a lover of the 2000s.

    I’m especially groovin’ on Lavender Aura, Incense and Seagrass. Damn, I might have to think about altering my blog colors.
