As an example, here is a palette that I made with only four colors:



(You don't have to pick a palette that you have personally made in the past, unless you'd like to. Just pick a palette that has less than four colors.)

Now, here is that palette with a new color added to it:



That's all there is to it! Here are a few guidelines:

1) You can name your palettes with [+] (if you like naming palettes for groups).

2) Please post the palette that inspired you under "Inspiration" when you make your palette (see my five color palette above if you are unsure of what I mean).

3) Remember to be kind when leaving comments for another lover who inspired you. Don't say, for example, "Ugh. Your palette was just SO boring with two colors. I totally made it better! Come and vote for ME!" (You get the idea, right? Just be considerate...)

4) The game is played by adding only one color at a time. If you find a color that you like, first start off with a two color palette. Then you may add a third (and post it) and then a forth (and post it) and THEN you may post a fifth. You can't just start with one color and create a totally new palette (that would just be a normal palette!). This rule makes the game more of a challenge.

5) When you are done, come and post your palette here at the group, along with the inspiring palette so we can give you some love. There's a thread for each type of game.

6) If you like, feel free to name your new palette in a way that references the palette that inspired you. It's not a rule, but it can be a fun challenge!

I will edit this as other people bring up questions I haven't thought of...

But the biggest rule of all is: HAVE FUN! ♥

My only question is... how do we find these palettes? I thought it might be an option in searching for palettes, but it doesn't seem to be & since the large majority of palettes are five colours I can't find a palette to start from :(

Hmm... well, we could always steal them from the Take One Color Pass It Down group. ;)

You'll find plenty in the Two Colors, Three Colors and Four Colors groups. </self-pimping>

A question: do we have to add the color 'at the end' of the palette? Can we put it at the beginning? Elsewhere?

You can put it anywhere it looks good. You can also mix up all the colors. It doesn't have to remain in the original order (unless you like that as a personal challenge). The idea is just to make something new...

And thanks for those links!

LOVE this. I can't wait to get started.... hm, maybe this weekend tonight :)

LOL! I was thinking... could she really wait that long?!

[+] is a nice symbol, but when you try to search for palettes with [+] in it, the search engine takes the '+' out so you end up searching for [] =(

Oh, that's kind of funny! Well, we have three options:

1) Come up with a tag;
2) Hope everyone adds their palettes to the group (see below);
3) Hope everyone posts them.

I find the [+] to be really easy to spot and it's nice that it's short as well...
