17 Shades of Grey


It's just been on the radio that 50 Shades of Grey is still raking in phenomenal amounts of money, that's great to hear, a film doing so well. 

This got my mind thinking, just how many shades of grey, are there? Bear with me, there is a point to this, and it's nothing to do with the books or film.

Below are 17 shades of grey, quite easy to distinguish each shade














However, if you look at this spectrum wheel, you'll see, or least get an indication of how many shades of grey there are

Yes, yes Mark, that's all well and good, but just exactly is your point? I hear you say.
Well, What about the little understatements, lowlights, undertones and embellishments, which might just add a little something to what you're making, and finish it off quite nicely, such as a .... Letraset Pro Markers



Tada :), all this just to mention a pen which can add subtle yet massive changes to your crafted items, and nothing at all to do with the film either :o)

I've just noticed how masculine this site looks

Doing my usual morning checks before setting off to the office, see how many orders we have, how many contacts and queries, check Facebook, Google +, twitter etc then I came here to see if there were any comments, and was truck immediately at how masculine it looks.
This is not to say that I don't have a feminine side, just that when I was looking through the templates this particular one caught my eye.

So with this in mind, a quick question, does how a site/ bog look on screen influence your perceptions of that site?

For example, if the blog had warm soft colours with a decorate border make you think that this was more of a craft thing than just a rambling blog about lots of different things?

Just found a picture which shows this perfectly, there's lots of styles on there, but all about the same thing.
