Claude Monet on Color
Posted by: Valerie on: March 31, 2007
Color is my day-long obsession, joy and torment. To such an extent indeed that one day, finding myself at the deathbed of a woman who had been and still was very dear to me, I caught myself in the act of focusing on her temples and automatically analyzing the succession of appropriately graded colors which death was imposing on her motionless face.
Claude Monet (1840–1926), French painter. Quoted in Claude Monet: Les Nymphéas, ch. 2 (1926).
Remark to Georges Clemenceau.

Every day, a new color combination is selected and posted to the site, along with files you can download for graphics program and web use. Unfortunately, it looks like the site hasn’t been updated in several months, but you can still peruse the archives of past color schemes.
