with wordlink palettes you start with a two-word (or more) colour name. the next colour name has to start with the last word of the colour before it. each colour continues this way to the end. try to make the last word of the last colour the first word of the first colour. this is really hard, though.

oh, and they should be colours you find through "search", not just making up your own and giving them names that work. that's too easy.

look at the group palettes for an example. i can't put it here.

I was doing a wordlink the other day, and very nearly made a "circular" wordlink--meaning, the last color's second word was almost the same as the first color's first word.

It's very interesting to try to get a perfect circle, since the first time was an accident. It's much harder than I thought! What can you come up with?

My first wordlink palette was an accidental full circle, so after that I became a bit obsessed with making them on purpose. Here they are in order from the first to the most recent :)

Oh my gosh Miss_Anthropy, those are incredible! The fact that they're circular AND they look great... AND you were able to make so many! Inspiring, I'm going to have to try this in a sec. :)

Yay, my first attempt at a wordlink was a circular! Don't really like the colours much but I wasn't concentrating on them at all. ;)

I like this one better - I realised it's much easier if you sort your search by name, rather than by score. D'oh! I found lots with the name I wanted so I could pick the colours that went well together.

I'd love feedback, I'm really new to all this. xxx
