| can at least reflect on the process that may be behind
| these palettes or trendy palettes.

| pick harmonious color combinations. It must be a skill that
| you happen to be good at.

| analyzing what they do so you can incorporate ideas into your
| own work (or not).

| Beautiful, however retro palettes, but putting them into this

| skeuomorphic recreations of physical devices.

| Because of how the same hex code will translate into different
| colors on different devices/screens, brands will often define
| print and digital palettes separately, and their print palettes
| might also change slightly based on the medium, like on card
| stock vs. cardboard. Turns out just picking the "same" color
| across multiple mediums is non-trivial.
