Spectrimage takes a photograph, visualizes the color information pixel-by-pixel, and builds a palette. I want the palette to feel chosen, not measured. No two swatches should be wasted on the same color, no muddy averages, and the same photograph should quickly produce the same five colors every time. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5cca34c50cf57d8e7575f84b/1777255579576-CFB4QGWAU0UQWIDAL6H3/bicycle+palette+1.png BLOG -

Today, it is far more popular for paint manufacturers to use synthetic iron oxide pigments instead of actual earth. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5cca34c50cf57d8e7575f84b/169de06b-19b3-4649-9759-ef5ea5700235/red-earths.jpeg BLOG - Caput Mortuum - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://amandahinton.com/blog/cadmium-red monthly 0.5 2026-06-30 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5cca34c50cf57d8e7575f84b/b76ebe81-f62b-4ae4-a06a-af6a2f24ee2e/cadmium-red-pigment.jpeg BLOG - Cadmium Red - Cad red is an attention getter.

Ok… I enjoy painting, metalsmithing, and helping other people make stuff. I collect books about art, design, and color theory. I love to check out other people’s sketchbooks and try out new pens, paper, and art supplies. I play tennis, usually doubles. I’m super organized and a planner. I admire people who radiate joie de vivre, are kind, and have command of their craft. https://amandahinton.com/code daily 0.75 2026-07-27 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5cca34c50cf57d8e7575f84b/1585684784193-8WZGS985N1MH82O5I7E3/web-pattern-37.png CODE https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5cca34c50cf57d8e7575f84b/df5a555d-75f2-421b-888e-b61ae8d5798a/chromaculture-dot-com.png CODE - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5cca34c50cf57d8e7575f84b/1633739544312-HGXHOQO09RH74JGGR3Y0/Homeslice_splash.png CODE - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5cca34c50cf57d8e7575f84b/3a3540ca-9faa-482b-9263-6042d26b6256/HorrorHost_splash.png CODE - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5cca34c50cf57d8e7575f84b/1633751117683-GZKU461HMA85K5YJOIBE/Whereabouts_splash.png CODE - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://amandahinton.com/creative daily 0.75 2026-06-30 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5cca34c50cf57d8e7575f84b/1585684784193-8WZGS985N1MH82O5I7E3/web-pattern-37.png CREATIVE https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5cca34c50cf57d8e7575f84b/1586726415280-P6OJVFQ9B3BM9YOTGIEM/website%2Bfeature%2Bimages-01.jpg CREATIVE https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5cca34c50cf57d8e7575f84b/1633725096706-SA8V2M9TZOYIC2GXZP13/keyboard.jpg CREATIVE - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5cca34c50cf57d8e7575f84b/1586726452808-G0RV488CULOEIKGTHZEB/COLOR+MIX.jpeg CREATIVE https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5cca34c50cf57d8e7575f84b/1586726478981-VHM41U5J9WQJ0XH4ONRJ/amandahinton_sapphirering.jpeg CREATIVE https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5cca34c50cf57d8e7575f84b/1633725484262-4YJBB0YEWBPVBEDD32QY/pubs.jpg CREATIVE - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference.
