At Colormusing, we'd like everyone to get comfortable embracing the world of color, in all its multi-hued, versatile, happy-making glory. So in this brand-new online space, we're presenting our color palette collection to inspire your own projects, along with ideas and tutorials for how to actually put the palettes to use in practical ways (travel wardrobe, blog design, home décor, just to name a few. And speaking of blogs, be sure to take a look at ours, here at CM HQ, and at our original blog, A Musing).
