Hello! So this is how this group works:
Basically, you pich a color palette of your choice (it can be yours, or someone else's, but it's more fun if it's someone else's in my opinion) and color-wash it. What is colorwashing, you might ask? It's taking one of your own colors and tinting the entire palette. I think this has the potential to be very fun. :) Hope you enjoy, and eventually, join this group!

LET'S GET COLORWASHIN'! :)

A note to the contestant(s):
Mangowasabi, since there were an odd number of contestants, the pairings didn't work out perfectly, and so you are to colorwash one of my palettes. I will not color one of your palettes, though. I just needed an extra partner for you, so I am your partner but you are not mine... I hope you understand what I mean.
Let me know if you guys have any questions.

Thanks for setting up this competition, OPB, and thank you for creating such incredible palettes, hypaticae! I made three different colourwashed palettes and, out of them, this was the one I think worked the best. I'd love all you guys' feedback, and I can't wait to see the rest of the entries! Woohoo!
