The Color Matching Challenge

"Get your colors as close as you can, but don’t sweat perfect. Close enough really is good enough."


This advice came from a blog I was reading (http://www.mcwade.com/DesignTalk/2010/10/) – and I think it's good advice. A perfect match in color is sort of bland, if you ask me. Subtle differences in swatches add dimension to a layout. If you've got an image that you want to pull color from, you can surely use the handy-dandy eyedropper tool. But maybe taking those few extra moments to use your own peepers and pick something close and complimentary is better.
