I want to do a proper design for this site, so I’ve been thinking through ideas in the back of my mind.  I’m a big fan of colourlovers and they post a ton of photos for color inspiration.  Here are two that are driving my ideas for the redesign:

Yep, mold.  But these colors are awesome.

Red kermesite crystals.  Similar colors to above but a very different setting.

The trick will be getting a good pair of colors for the text / text background that are readable, but that work with this theme.
