I love shit like this. I've been working on color schemes on and off for the better part of two decades and I still find it endlessly fascinating.

My wife, for some ungodly reason, watches these Project Runway and Launch My Line type shows. Every time I happen by to see what the hell these morons think they're designing, I have to laugh seeing how absolutely none of them understand anything about color theory or even basic color complement.

No wonder these unwashed drama-queens can't break into the design world on their own.

I may not be a genius when it comes to color and design, but for the love of art, some people are just plain clueless.
