Pantone's Spring Color Line 2013
You know how I like to change Upcycled's colors to celebrate Pantone's color lines for each season.
What do you think - change the colors now or wait a bit for a possible summer palette? By the way, according to Inc. magazine (Dec. 2012/Jan. 2013), Monaco Blue is "thee" color for spring 2013.
Do you agree?

Updated Blog Colors - You like?
You might have noticed Upcycled Education got a color lift. Yep, those little circles all changed colors. PS - For my mobile users, you might need to go to "web version" to see the new and improved changes :) Here is the new blog header:
What do you think? Do you like the new, semi-strange color scheme?
In case you were wondering, I aim to recolor the blog every season or two - part of the allure of the design I was thinking. I am using the Pantone color guide to help me. Since I am a wanna-be-designer, you will have to consult this Wikipedia entry to explain Pantone and their expertise a la color.
According to Pantone, this is this fall's color guide. I used just a portion of this season's colors. And since I am a wanna-be, I still have a long way to go to 100% color match. But, I tried. And I am happy. Or at least, I think the colors look interesting. Slightly different. Unexpected. And less perky than they were before. Not that I don't like perky; I just prefer less perky colors to roll into winter.
I'm curious, which colors would you have chosen? Maybe in the spring, we can have a contest to recolor Upcycled Education using the 2013 color guide. Interested?
