I grab a camera and take pictures of things that were obviously put together by someone who knows color.

There is a neighborhood full of very well-painted homes that has inspired a few of my designs. One time I pulled a color scheme from macro shots of my backyard. My client said, "Wow, I really like that brown, what is that?"

It was dog poop.

Ah yes, the Caganer color theme. It just goes to show you that sometimes people don't realize what they want.
