My friend, author/illustrator Elizabeth O. Dulemba, has just added her book “Lula’s Brew” to the iPhone and iPad library available at iTunes. I love her illustrations and I’ve downloaded the ibook onto my iPod Touch and it’s a colorful, rich feast for the eyes … not to mention a great little story and Elizabeth narrates it too.
I highly recommend you buy her book, either in print or digital … you won’t be disappointed!
Also make sure you sign up for her “Coloring Page Tuesdays” email … there’s a link in my sidebar.
Why?The cheerful cover artwork of this story uses a warm and rich palette to capture your eye and hint at the playful journey you’re about to embark upon. This color scheme just screams of a warm Autumn, the natural transition between the vibrant, floral saturations of Summer and the chill, darker shades of Winter. The colors of this scheme are varied across the spectrum, but generally evoke a great sense of comfortable, cozy, warmth … all wrapped up in your favorite blanket, sipping steaming cider by the crackling fire.
Where?Use these color combinations when you need to create a sense of welcoming … stirring emotions of Comfort, Family, Restfulness and Warmth. This scheme would work well for any “organic” or “natural”-oriented designs, marketing or products. These colors would work well in advertising targeted at Autumn and Fall specials, especially for the holidays of Halloween and Thanksgiving.
Elizabeth uses a similar color scheme quite well as the overall theme of her main website too.

The bright, vibrant colors used on these Easter eggs are very "kid-friendly" and captivate the eye. A few shades lighter and these could all be pastels, but keeping them bright adds more character and energy into them. The colors of this scheme are all over the spectrum, but generally provide good contrast to each other.
Where?
