The Annoying Watermarks are really really annoying. - candycrack, on 03/22/2008, -5/+26Wonderful Contest from CL and LuckyOliver.
However, I am bias as I did win... so I must Digg It. - Ganja420, on 03/22/2008, -10/+27COLOUR?!?!!? WTF I DONT UNDERSTAND PLZ TRANSLATE TO AMERICAN
- Versh, on 03/22/2008, -0/+9Why all this "color" vs. "colour" nonsense? Those words are just the category for what these sites and photographs are really in appreciation of: the variations in hue and tone characteristics. Or one could go further to discuss saturation, luminosity, scintillation-- but then again, you've stopped reading this comment halfway through the second sentence!
- shujin, on 03/22/2008, -0/+7I suppose it's true when they say sarcasm doesn't translate well
- valis, on 03/22/2008, -2/+9'Colour' is a correct spelling (in the UK and Canada, for example.) Try to be more tolerant about such minor things.

- luckytalisman, on 03/22/2008, -1/+8it's like a feast for your eyes
- BTConan, on 03/22/2008, -0/+6Then that means they are a success.
- kurtwinter, on 03/22/2008, -0/+6The ***** watermark went above and beyond the call of twitching. I can't even see straight.
- lharboe, on 05/01/2009, -0/+6From the original contest post: Winners will be selected for the best palettes that captured the spirit / mood of the inspiration photo.
- thefirelane, on 03/22/2008, -3/+8I think I'm confused on what they were doing or being judged on
- diskit, on 03/22/2008, -0/+5Use of Color
- Pyroteq, on 03/22/2008, -1/+5Pretty sure he's a Pom taking the piss mate.
- DCstewieG, on 03/22/2008, -1/+5Wow this looks like a great site. We're getting ready to paint a few rooms and I think I'll be hitting this for ideas!
- jhammonds, on 03/22/2008, -2/+6and it looks to be dead already... google caught it... very nice photos
http://209.85.207.104/search?q=cache:5oK_cAabpF4J: ... - FranksValli, on 03/23/2008, -0/+3I understand the need for a watermark, but that was just excessive and blatantly annoying. Halfway down I noticed the "LuckyOliver Annoying Watermark" stamp on EVERY photo and just got pissed off and closed the window.
- mkantor, on 03/22/2008, -0/+3They're great as inspiration for graphic design projects (I often use colourlovers palettes as starting points on my web sites). Also, someone above mentioned getting ideas for painting rooms in their house. It's just an awesome resource for everything colorful.
- inactive, on 03/22/2008, -2/+5Great find my friend
- lharboe, on 05/01/2009, -0/+3The contest was so much fun! I hope we have more of these photo matching ones. Mine got honorably mentioned!
- thefirelane, on 03/22/2008, -1/+4ok... so again, what are these palettes for? I got that they find a picture... then what? Their hobby is selecting a handful of colors that go together?
- moletimer, on 03/22/2008, -0/+2So...should we like them now?
- Couchy, on 03/22/2008, -0/+2Grats! =]
- upikupik123, on 03/22/2008, -1/+3amazing pictures.. there are all incredibly awesome.
- sanguinekane, on 03/22/2008, -0/+2I thought the Paris Underground and the Influenza photos were the best, though they're all amazing.
- BrotherHero, on 03/23/2008, -1/+3LuckyOliver is a douche.
- Quantumsparrow, on 03/23/2008, -0/+2LuckyOliver's a stock photo site. Yeah, the watermark is goddamn annoying, but it's one of the few ways they have to keep people from "stealing" the pics they paid for.
But seriously. That's the worst watermark I've ever seen. - Kyan, on 03/22/2008, -0/+1z
- valis, on 03/22/2008, -0/+1I really need to pay better attention, don't I. *groan*
- bakagaigin, on 03/22/2008, -0/+1The "we buy vintage" wall is in Atlanta...in little 5 points, I think.

nyud cache - takkie, on 03/22/2008, -0/+1Though, the subject is miss spell :-)
I like a image, "Marple's dance".
But I sorrow for now is spring. If now is fall, it is seen more better. - TigerBaby27, on 03/23/2008, -0/+1Congratulations!
- cindysim212, on 03/25/2008, -0/+1I agree that some of these were unimpressive like "we buy vintage" - anyone could take that picture...but I liked the snow and ember one and the laundry by design one.
- candycrack, on 03/23/2008, -0/+1The Metro is still the Metro, I just thought Paris Underground was a more unique name for the pallet.
- roomaustin, on 03/23/2008, -0/+1Wow, some of those match my curtains.
- altessa, on 03/22/2008, -2/+3I've always found ColourLovers to be a great inspiration. These winning photographs are truly awesome!
- Andyschism, on 03/22/2008, -0/+1Can someone explain this submission?
- Stennie, on 03/22/2008, -0/+1Well, of course. What matters most is people know who made it or where it came from, not that they be allowed to actually enjoy it!

These colors, as a group, are called the "palette." In the same way that Dr. Suess and, say, the Mona Lisa use a different color palette every thing you see in prepress and web have their unique palettes and their selection has become a science, in a way.
- saeche, on 03/22/2008, -0/+1I really like "snow & ember".
- DanOnTheMoon, on 03/23/2008, -0/+1If you're lucky.
- candycrack, on 03/23/2008, -0/+1Already have the iPhone so I took the cash.
I fear for a scratch on my phone, amazingly even after being dropped it didn't scratch. - Smaulz, on 03/22/2008, -0/+1Congrats! Definitely snagged a few new favs from that list, yours among them.
- FrancisHC, on 03/23/2008, -1/+2Buried for irritating watermark on every photo. It seriously ruined my enjoyment of the art.
- vdog, on 03/22/2008, -2/+3While I agree that it's a shame that such petty art is buried under a landslide of watermarks, there are much more succinct ways of putting it.
- mostlylisa, on 03/22/2008, -1/+1really interesting contest. loved all the top entries, esp. your winner. hi-5!
- candycrack, on 03/23/2008, -0/+0It certainly was, I can't wait to see what other types of contest we will see.
- tamugirl, on 03/28/2008, -0/+0My favs were ..Dahlia & Abstract Love
