Color Scheme Inspiration – Good Morning!
I apologize for the delayed announcement of results. This was originally slated for launch at the beginning of the past weekend. Server issues (that are hopefully now resolved) kept us delayed.
– Zach
This round of inspiration is provided by the community and A.M. hours. These are just ten great representatives of the palettes posted for our “Good Morning!” color scheme contest.
Almost all photos below are all found via Flickr (follow image links for author info). Color schemes are available to download through COLOURlovers.

A League All His Own
This was hands down the most unique interpretation of “Good Morning!” that this contest saw submitted. I’m still not entirely sure what I’m looking at with your inspiration image but Joël Cox, you deserve some recognition.
Wake Up!
Even though this contest has ended, we’d still love to see you get involved with creating your own color schemes. If you make a particularly awesome one, post it to our official Colourlovers group! Your palette may end up being a starting point for future color scheme posts. You’ll even be featured front and center for your stroke of genius.
Note to contest winners: You should receive an email notifying your of your victory by the end of the day. If you haven’t received a contact from me by tomorrow and you’re in the top five, get in touch to claim your business cards from BizCard.

That’s awesome, thank you! I think I struck it lucky in finding an inspirational photo with a great mix of colors, but that first place is really pleasing and motivational. Thanks once again.

Haha, awesome. Great job all. I love to see all these different interpretations of ‘Good Morning’.
My inspiration image actually is a warm water well with different kind of bacteria, all displaying their own color in the first sunbeams of the day :)

@Joël
I actually ended up on Wikipedia for a solid 15 minutes reading up on the Morning Glory pool and related things in nature. Thanks for the unexpected lesson in wilderness.
