# 'k, there's a lot of stuff I don't understand.


These look kind of okay together, but they're also kind of off. How do they look better and why? I realize this is a big colo[u]r theory question, but if anyone could point me in the right direction, I'd appreciate it. Is there a way to 'calculate' what matches, or is it completely by eye?

I'm actually being serious for once. I'm kind of stupid.

This goes with this, because.

I'm completely clueless on the 'because'. It kind of looks okay, but I have no idea why it does.

# But they're not.
Some are purple and some are pink and at least one is basic gray. They're off a bit for a scheme, and I don't know what they should do to get back in line and be a nice subtle shift.

It's not just adjusting HSB or RGB. They're all over the place!

# Butt hair's hot.
Some people are glum and stink but at least one is basically gay. The pears are a bit off, Steve, and I don't want to get in that line just for a nice subtle shit.

I'm not adjusting the CIA or the KGB. They're all over my face!

If you ever have babies, I don't want to adopt them.

I do have peanuts (in the shell!) and I'm willing to share.

I don't want to overdo it on the peanuts - thanks anyway.

besides, different colored areas are perceived as different sizes

# This is a nice spack.
I'm not really concerned about the size. I'm trying to do a colo[u]r thing where stuff kind of matches and looks good together.

# Yes, colour theory is a rather large topic.
For simplicities sake, just give this a whirl, it's great.
