I found myself looking through my project last night searching for a photo and I noticed whilst looking at the thumbnail view, that blue is the dominant colour throughout it. Thats not surprising as I live by the sea I suppose but I'm curious to see if other people have noticed this as well or if its just me. Does your project have a dominant colour? Here are a few of mine to highlight my point:
@stuckinoz Thanks Janelle. I'm still trying to figure out if my use of blue is a conscious choice or just a result of living where I do.. I had a look at your project and no one colour jumped out at me. Interesting.
I think mine is a good mixture... although, funnily enough, this month seems to be more greyish/darker tones... wonder if that's related to it being winter here?
Your water shots are so so amazing! I knew the answer to this question (good discussion btw) before I looked. It would have to be green.....I shoot so many nature pics...
@ozziehoffy Yeah, the weather definitely affects my colours as well Cassandra.
@ggg Thanks and yes, b&w is what I would say your project is.
@espyetta Thanks MaryBeth. I had a look at your project and yes, there is a lot of green. I think green would be my second colour. Not a discussion I had seen here before so thought it might be interesting.
@bruni Very nice photos. You have the lake, I have the saw with is determining the dominant colour.
@jonesp It was/is. Thanks for starting it...I'll check in and see what others post. And now I am following you and Abhijit....great to see some great photographs from someone I've not previously seen on here...I guess getting on during the day ( I am on summer break) is to thank.
Mine is a random mix of colours... I can't actually pinpoint a particular colour! I'd say greens and blues feature a lot, but then so do warmer colours - reds and flesh tones, and then the occasional black and white shots thrown in... but if I had to make the call, I'd say bluey-green :)
I can't say that any one colour features more in my project either. I did do a week of greens last month and back in February did some mixed colour shots. Here are a few from February.
I was just noticing this type of pattern in my photos. Last week, I shot the same vibrant pallate at several locations. In looking at my overall project, while it is quite diversified, I notice that rich reds, pinks, and purples are often featured in my photo choices:
Mine started off a bit mixed but leant towards the grey I think - blame the British weather. The last couple of months - especially June thumbnails - I've thought it's looking mostly green, but that's not surprising as I'm a country bumpkin so there's always green around!
Interesting question! Mine is increasingly black and white. Maybe has something to do with the fact that I am always shooting a little late at night, after dinner and a long day of work. :)
This is a cool thread. I've consciously tried not to repeat colors too often. I tell myself I don't want to get in a rut or stay "safe". I can see from your examples that tending toward certain colors can be brilliant :)
I think mine show a lot of blues & greens...but again, like others, I live near the water, as well as forest & mountains, here in Washington state! Being surrounded by the beauty of nature means that it is most often the subject I am drawn to & attempting to capture on a daily basis.
I enjoy looking through the "month" views of others' albums to see whether there are trends or not. I think my most common color is green, although my albums are pretty random. Here's some recent green since we have just transitioned from spring to full-on summer!
Mine appears to lean toward Purples and Pinks...lots of flowers and sunsets. I must find new subject matter!!! Although...even my drag race smoke is pink/purple
I also live by the water, but my project so far is very decidedly gray and brown :p Well, brownish anyway - autumn colors I suppose (browns, golds, a splash of green...).
I just took a look through my thumbnails and find that the color of my projects is "multi!" NOT surprisingly to me, I found no color predominance or pattern at all... :)
I feel like the closest I can come is orange, although yellows and greens come close since I do a lot of nature shots. Great thread Paul @jonesp - really got me thinking!
Tweets ahoy!

@nicolecampbell Thanks Nicole. Much appreciated
@abhijit Thanks and yes, black is the word I would use for you project.
@pocketmouse So your colour would be "eclectic" then Teresa? :-)
@peadar Yeah, I've noticed you like strong, bright colours Peter.
@carmel Lovely shots Ariel.
@amandalomonaco Yeah, I'd agree Amanda.
@sewsharyn Interesting Shayrn, looking through your photos, the ones with a multitude of colours jump out.
Mine is also Blue, though often different subject matter,
@michaelelliott @paulavdmerwe Another two for the mix of colours camp.
@roachling Very nice countryside shots. Lovely greens, at least all that rain is doing something eh?
@chelseap92 I agree Chelsea. Definitely blue.
@zeldacheung Shooting late at night might have something to so with it alright. :-)
@herussell I'm not sure my leaning towards blue was a conscious choice or not. Will be fun finding out now that I've noticed it.
@lauriez Looks like water and blue go together very well Laurie. Lovely shots.
@rockinrobyn Beautiful shots Robyn. Lovely greens.
@wardie Thanks Paul. Big fan of your work as well. And without a shadow of a doubt, I would say blue for you. In fact, more blue than me.
@beeblebear I tend to fall into days of b&w as well Kevin but never more than a few at a time. Interesting to hear that you are moving to b&w.
@tandem02 Definitely Kathrin!
@remirixjones I agree, looking at your thumbnails, no one colour stands out. Great colours in the example above.
@laynesgram Love the blue in the first photo.
@hopess13 Lovely photos Rachel. Still not sure how you got pink from a drag race!
@abhijit I see what you mean about black.
@ambermagen Interesting that living by the water does not necessarily mean blue.
@zshadowwalker Adrian, from other comments in this thread, it seems multicolor is quite normal.
@marilyn I had a look through your thumbnails Marilyn and no one colour jumped out at me either.
Really fun thread - great idea Paul @jonesp :)
Lately, I've been digging my daughter's Yellow boots:
Sepia - I have a bit of a thing at the moment about processing to a Sepia colour!
