Fambly starter - colour challenge.
witch:
This is a fambly starter lot at only §19,716 - thanks to the 'wandhere' command in Awesomemod!
Two bedrooms, one with double bed and one with a crib and single bed. Only one bathroom but it has a top quality shower and toilet. Same goes for the fridge and the stove, both are just about as good as it gets. The house is easily expandable on the sides and the outside shape could be kept while doing this. There is still room on the 20x30 lot to have a vege garden and pool, or whatever.
I am sick of trying to think of colour schemes for houses, so I decided to use a web design tool to create one for me. This lot uses a scheme from the Colors on the Web webpage.
There are very few items on the lot that do not comply with these colours, though I did pick a neutral wood floor. It's a bit Simpsons, I admit, I'll probably pick a more pastel scheme for the next lot. See what you think.
I had fun with the lights as well.
Download lot here.
The next two schemes I'm deciding between, both come from stylephreak.
Another interesting looking site is http://colorschemedesigner.com/
So if anyone else is into working to a fixed colour scheme, I'd be most interested to see the results. I found it made me step outside my usual comfort zone of rather earthy colours.

Hey, house is cute and this is a great idea, Witch! I don't build a lot, but when I do, selecting colors can be a bit tedious. I've been thinking of just getting my hands on a color wheel to help me with this, but I like the idea of choosing a color scheme this way before beginning. Thanks for the links.

Interesting idea! I've been stuck in a color rut lately and have started a fairly ambitious building project. Thanks to the patch allowing for in-game lot placement I've broken up some of the huge lots and am turning them into affordable housing. I'll play around with this and post pictures if I come up with anything decent.

I think it can be really hard to find cheap, usable lots for download and I don't really have the patience to build anything but square boxes for them to live in.
The colour scheme idea is really interesting. I have to admit, though, that I'm not really loving that green used here, but, meh, I'll just change it to something a little darker if it stands out in-game. No biggie. Mostly I'm interested in the house for how it's both useful and prettiful. :)

Have you ever tried Kuler? I love it and use it all the time. You can find color schemes, or match/complement/etc existing colors.
