I’m obsessing over all the maples that are turning slowly this season–their tops red, fading to green. So much that I felt compelled to collect samples from a single tree.
I was doing similar noodling back in '04 (though I'm sure I do it every autumn).
I figure this year’s exercise was inspired largely by Marketing Drive's Pantone Matching photoset.
In related linkery, The Color Palette Generator will spit out a set of colors based on an image you throw at it.
Love the maple colors, and now that I've see this post I love it even more!

That's just great stuff. I too am amazed you were able to collect them all from the same tree and have the colors still be so vibrant.

Very nice picture. I wonder how much time the fella got. I need to buy those pantone chips too.

You should wax it and frame it. It's purdy.

Theres no better way that Ive seen than this to show much the beauty of nature can inspire design.

What a great shot, and I too can't believe that such a range of colour on one tree.
Oh, and great work on the site, I really love the design, especially the icons!

A true designer's Andy Goldsworthy.
I'm amazed that they're all from the same tree.
