Colour Combinations

I randomly discovered a Mastodon account that shares random colour contrast pairs: random color contrasts. The concept of this bot is simple: it posts random contrasting colour combinations. I won't hold it against the fact that it's using the American spelling of "colour". I used a few combinations for my websites - both this blog, and my personal site.

But I feel like I'm addicted to this feed. I keep bookmarking combinations that are just appealing to me - even if I don't plan on using them anywhere! But maybe I might use them some day...who knows? At any rate, these posts are clogging up my Mastodon bookmarks which otherwise contains posts I want to follow-up on or else contain useful information that I want to come back to. I need to clear them out, so to do that I will now share with you each bookmarked post (in order of newest to oldest).
