Enough of our photos of Cornwall for a moment. This week I’ve chosen a photo of an apple from stock.xchng which has lovely rich reds, oranges and yellows.
Here are the accessible combinations:
| 1. #2f0000 and #f48222 | Example 1.1 | Example 1.2 |
|---|---|---|
| 2. #2f0000 and #ffe69e | Example 2.1 | Example 2.2 |
| 3. #2f0000 and #fff1eb | Example 3.1 | Example 3.2 |
| 4. #a81400 and #ffe69e | Example 4.1 | Example 4.2 |
| 5. #a81400 and #fff1eb | Example 5.1 | Example 5.2 |

This is very exciting as we have received our first submitted colour scheme, so thanks to Julie for the following:
There is just one accessible pairing of colours in this selection:
| 1. #5d1f22 and #ffaa01 | Example 1.1 | Example 1.2 |
|---|
I would therefore suggest changing the orange for white and maybe lightening the taupe a bit, to give the following:
And these accessible combinations:
| 1. #ffffff and #204e77 | Example 1.1 | Example 1.2 |
|---|---|---|
| 2. #ffffff and #7d6488 | Example 2.1 | Example 2.2 |
| 3. #ffffff and #5d1f22 | Example 3.1 | Example 3.2 |
| 4. #cfc7bd and #204e77 | Example 4.1 | Example 4.2 |
| 5. #cfc7bd and #5d1f22 | Example 5.1 | Example 5.2 |
Of course there are other ways of increasing the contrast between the suggested colours - instead of bringing in the white I could have chosen a lighter shade of orange so that it would work with the blue. Thanks again for the suggestion, keep them coming!
