"... observing nature is far more interesting than just trying to think about things ..."
Interesting article and one I'll be coming back & reading. Colour is always a hard one to pick & apply. I take photos any chance I can and one of the subjects I usually shoot each morning is a mountain shot out the kitchen window.
So I wonder if there is a natural colour grid of all possible colour combinations that are repeated in nature that you can capture (exploit), process and apply rules like the one described here?

I happened to be playing with gimp with one such image and mapped out the colours that I liked. You can see it here ~ http://www.flickr.com/photos/bootload/541666109/
Then looking through flickr that particular day I found a very similiar colour combination here ~ http://flickr.com/photos/factoryjoe/545089963/ Even now looking at the top palates at colourlovers you can see another similiar combo ~ http://www.colourlovers.com/palette/77121/Good_Friends
