Be My Valentine, Color + Group Feature: Valentine Template Challenge

Happy Valentines Day! Our community has created and named millions of user-named colors that help us create, innovate, and celebrate the joy of color itself.

Some of the “most loved” include “"dutch_teal"
Color by COLOURlovers” target=”_blank”>Dutch Teal” by Skyblue2u, “Haunted milk” by alpen, “Vitamin C” by GreenLantern, “Chartreuse” by oeln, and “Juicy Pink” by MetteBB. It is almost too obvious to say that WE LOVE COLOR!

Color is infused into every aspect of our lives, especially those in our color bubble, so we thought it was time to devote a big Valentine to Color itself! Although we couldn’t include all the colors in the rainbow, here are some colors that really touch our hearts on Valentine’s Day.

We can’t overlook the “color of the year”— This vivacious color is the epitome of energy and warmth, giving us a little energy boost with just a glance, and with sunset hues that bring warmth to the soul.

While you are saying “I love you” to the ones that are dearest to your heart, leave a little thought for your favorite colors, too. There are so many to pick from in every tint and hue.

So, here’s to all of the colors that we love, “Happy Valentine’s Day, we love you COLOR!


Group Feature: Valentine Template Challenge

Group leaders, o2bqueen and rubyvillasenor, put together this fun group specifically for Valentines Day. They started this challenge last year and decided to do it again. The challenge starts the week before and ends on February 14th at which point five finalist/winners are picked to showcase in order (listed below).

Twenty-nine participants submitted more than 60 templates. The designers’ experience ranged from “old pro” to newbie. Their creations covered the spectrum—cute, clever, sweet, funny, gorgeous, intricate, intriguing, amazing, and more.
