January - Clay brown: Frosty leaves, mostly beech
February: Our Graphite Black earth is bringing forth colour - and is a terrific backdrop.
The colour of March, Olive green, is found in these catkins.
I'm sure you can find loads of April's Water blue in GardenOwl if you look close.
And a Bright orange flower for the Colour of the month, May. Growing on my Moon Hill, a survivor from last summer's sowing of all my flower seeds I have no idea what it is, and orange is probably the colour it is hardest to find in the Owlery.
The very best mint is Signal green for June.
Look! some of the nasturtium I picked for jellies and herbal salts have just the right colour for July's Pale ivory.
August is in need of two photos:
August is THE summer month of Denmark, but ususally it looked like this - lots of Mouse grey around.
But it is not a bad colour when others come along to brighten up things.
In September we ate the very first bite of the very first ripe jalapeño.
It was the deep Orient red of September

In October I was lucky. The camera was in my bag and the cormorant had returned to the pond in town. The stone, which is the base for the water-spouting frog, is naturally Pebble grey.
November saw a lot of plant dyeing, eco printing, contact printing or what ever it is called.
And the colour of the month, Pearl opal green, was eaily found here.

In December this mug turned out just the right Light blue.

Love your use of the colours last year - and am looking forward to seeing what you do with them this year.
SvarSletThank you - looking back I like it too, and I'm surprised I did them all. I too am looking forward to seeing what will happen to this surprising challenge in 2025.
SletLove this photo series, the orange flower is probably a wallflower.
SvarSletA wallflower! I thought this was only a dance partner not chosen ;) But loking it up, you're probably right. Thanks a lot!
SletHappy new year everyone!
SvarSletI really liked this range of colors. I also really liked that you included pictures from the past year. Be well and have fun!
May it be a year with more creativity, mindfulness and more reading. A year of Health, Peace, Love and Joy!
Thank you for your well wishes. I hope you join my challenge this year. I'd love to see what you could find with your good photo-mind!
SletLoved using your colours in our words for Wednesday Charlotte. And also this lovely post which shows them off so splendidly!

Thank you - this is one of the reasons I keep this challenge alive.
SletYou found much beauty in your world looking for the colours.
SvarSletThis was the idea behind the challenge, which I stole as the original challenger discontinued it.
