my ten-color palette

after reading a wonderful post on The Society Inc., entitled 5 Steps to Creating Your 10-Colour Palette, i started thinking about what mine would be. then i realized, i already have one! it was like finding a twenty dollar bill in my pocket. while it was not intentional, i suppose i am naturally drawn to certain colors - and even more drawn to certain color combinations. after taking stock of all the colors in my apartment, i realized that the combo of red and blue is my number one favorite. it gets me every time. i guess it's very american. or french. or so many other countries. without further adieu, ladies and gentlemen, here is my very own ten-color palette...
