Lot Challenge, April 2013, TINY lots.
pepsihamster:
I did another one. I thought, if it's small, it won't take long - ha,ha. This little house is for your poor Sims. CASt in the warm and cozy colour scheme; with deliberate attention to the worn-out design of the furniture and the house (and the cramped feel) which you might find in such a place, to create the right atmosphere for game-play. ;) Has a tiny garden patch.

Hmm, I think the only "problem" with the color scheme is that they were made up of too few colors - This site has some really great palettes and there's an average of 6 colors per, so it wouldn't be nearly as restricting. You could have rooms with completely different combinations and escape some of the sameness. Just an idea for the next challenge, if the winner decides to use color schemes again. :)
If you hover over the swatches on the right, it gives you the hex #. Another color scheme site is kuler. You can make your own color schemes and there are a metric fuck-ton of community made schemes available. Pick a scheme and then click on the little slider button and you have your hex numbers.

Missed one.

Great colour scheme sites! I also feel that the restriction is mostly because of too few colours and that all wood had to be in a fixed colour, too. If there were more colours in a scheme and if one could therefore use different colours in different rooms, while they still belong to the same colour scheme, I think that would work really well. You would get a cohesive look, but not feel so restricted as it probably felt here. I like the idea of a colour scheme as such - if it's broad enough, I personally feel it makes decorating easier. So, don't feel bad about it jesslla. The idea was good and now we have some experience on what will make it work better.

Yeah, the color scheme is a tad too restrictive but therein lies the challenge. These are tiny lots after all so in this case it's not that much of a problem. One has to find ways to use the colors along with patterns and such to keep things exciting and not so repetitive. For example you can decide for color 1 to dominate in the bedroom and use the other two as accents. Then let color 2 dominate the kitchen and then use the other two as accents. Using different patterns can also help spice up things a bit even though they're CASTed in the same colors.
Even though the color restriction had me pulling my hair at times, it was fun to think about creative ways to use them on the lot in a way that would still give each room its own character. It was also much easier to decorate the lot imho. For bigger lots we will need color palettes with more variety though.
