I've
been theming for a long time (orchestrating color combinations, type
selection, symbols, etc) but I learned something new about
"proportioned palettes". New perspective on color.
The author of Handout (PDF) demonstrates his method for developing a consistent and large color palette for branding. Great stuff.
I can also vouch his basis of predicting "future color trends" really works. One only need watch the fashion industry in the fall runways and then see how the red-carpet celebrities respond in the spring. It's that simple! That cycle has just finished. What was the result? He says, "Emerald" is the color for 2013.
PS- Just looked at the Oscar ceremony dresses --not an emerald one in the bunch? Oh, well.
Example of Simple Palettes:
Examples of proportional palettes:
And the following are attempts to generate a palette from three or more images:
When the author of these 6 combination proportional palettes was asked in a interview what he meant by high, middle, and low note inspiration, he couldn't describe or define what those meant. Obviously, the labels are cross-sensory metaphor trying to relate color to sounds --a subconscious parameter or matter of artistic perception.

| From these 2 image analysis of colors, we don't necessarily get an idea of the hierarchy of the palettes. |
Examples of proportional palettes:
 |
| These show dominant and subordinate colors but are not sampled from images. They are experimental. |

| Above is an attempt to show proportional and color wheel relationships. |
