Wow, wow, and more wow! The Buttermilks climbing area on the East Side of the Sierra Nevada Mountain Range near Bishop, CA is so incredibly beautiful. Nestled right below snowline are the most picturesque boulders littering the sage and sparsely-pined hillsides. The boulders themselves are pure gems for climbing and considered some of the best in the world. The view, however, can be appreciated by those beyond the climbing folk. Here's a quick shot I grabbed facing the west (opposite of the stellar boulders) after sunrise. Though the colors are muted, there is still a lot to be seen. Here is a palette I created based on inspiration from this tremendous place.

I love color and experimenting with it. There are so many variations and combinations that the possibilities are endless. However, sometimes finding the right color combinations can stifle a creative, especially when under a tight deadline or budget. That's where something like Color Scheme Designer comes in handy. This free site offers visitors a way to select colors and retrieve full web-safe schemes based on mono, complementary, triads, tetrads, analogic and accented analogic color combinations. This is such a great way for clients who want to have more of a say in their design process and can see how some colors will work together.
