Mere color, unspoiled by meaning, and unallied with definite form, can speak to the soul in a thousand different ways.

COLOURlovers blog - science, design, art, culture, travel - you name it, they can relate it back to color.

And yes, they spell it with a 'u.'

Color/colour makes all the difference.

Laurie Bohner: "Terry and I worship an unconventional deity. The power of another dimension. Now, you are not going to read about this dimension in a book or a magazine because it exists nowhere... but in my own mind. Through our ceremonies and rituals we have witnessed the awesome and vibratory power... of color."

Terry Bohner: "This is not an occult science. This is not one of those crazy systems of divination and astrology. That stuff's hooey, and you've got to have a screw loose to go in for that sort of thing. Our beliefs are fairly commonplace and simple to understand. Humankind is simply materialized color operating on the 49th vibration. You would make that conclusion walking down the street or going to the store."

What's wrong with spelling it with a 'u'? That's my favourite way to spell it.

I use this site regularly; the blog is great, but creating the palettes on the site is great for inspiration for painting, jewelry design, etc.

I really enjoy their feature articles with color palettes. The extracted palettes usually aren't that great but it's fun just to see what color combinations come out of various sources.
