  I don't think about color formally (though it would be cool to take a class). I get inspiration from food and design magazines, especially Domino. It's helpful to see not just how they use colors, but what proportions they use (what's the main color vs. the accents). I've also found inspiration from TV — seeing what people are wearing. And, I really like the use of color in Sponge Bob. I haven't seen that many episodes, but there was one where they used blue violet, fuchsia, and yellow (iolite, ruby, and gold?).

  Thank you for your comments, Naomi. I tend to use the color wheel only ocassionally — usually when I already have a certain color bead and I'm not sure what to pair it with. I definitely agree with your approach, though. Color is everywhere, and there's no limit to where one can find inspiration.
