92 shades of red

Jan 20, 2022

All 92 Indiana counties are a big code COVID red. Just in time for the IU vs. Purdue game tonight at Assembly Hall. Who would’ve ever guessed that COVID would be worse in Seymour, Indiana than it is in Las Vegas, NV? Not me, that’s for sure.

Colors make a huge impact — not just red insofar as COVID saturation — but on any project. No matter if you’re deciding where to point your camera, refreshing your living room, or even designing a logo or a website — the colors you choose can make or break your concept.

If you need some color assistance — or just want to try out something fun — check out:
Adobe’s color theme picker.

After you click the link, SELECT THE TAB FOR “EXTRACT THEME” and upload a photo that incorporates colors you love. Beach photos are great for blues and summer trees are great for greens. Baby Dharma makes for a great earthy theme. 🙂

Baby Dharma is an earthy theme.

You can also select a “mood” to generate different shades/hues from your photo… (that option is on the left):

Coco at Disney with Adobe bright color picker
Not a fan of “bright mood” for this photo — guess my mood is more “dull.”

Colette at Disney no mood Adobe color picker
I’m much happier with no “mood” at all applied.

If you live near me and prefer to stay out of the code red COVID situation, try your hand at Adobe’s Color Theme From an Image while you’re watching the Purdue/IU game tonight. Here’s hoping your team wins… so long as it’s IU. 🙂
