Re: Bluephobia, excluding navy blue

Yeah its fair to say you're pretty well attuned, especially how you describe the different shades etc...it all fits with what works within this system of moving hue, saturation and luminosity in accordance, well to my knowledge anyway.

Is it just luck that I got that right? Well not really because I can repeat that process again and again, there was nothing random in my selection and it wasnt really by my design the colours tell you where to take it as you follow the systematic steps.. then you build it up and up as the palette reaches higher levels of sophistication...then as you get about 7 or 10 colours in the magic starts happening where colours that shouldnt work together start to work because of the path of logic youve used to get to them hold it all together. This is pretty much the approach I find works when designing.

Re: Bluephobia, excluding navy blue

You can read me well, congrats.

I have eliminated many colours from my wardrobe, just because they didn't "work." Your combo, with a burgundy tie and a sunbleached canvas Chapman bag, is just "it".

Great..well permit me to dandify the living daylights out of it to show you how the stream of logic is continued until things start going a bit mental.

I don't think Besstonplace does dandyism.

Re: Bluephobia, excluding navy blue

Actually, no. I enjoy blending in, donning a "kit", a "uniform", the all-too-common navy 2SB suit with a medium spread collar double cuff shirt, some very good black oxfords, a red or green Hermes tie (Ferragamos are gone) and minimalist accessorizing (Hermes cufflinks, no pocket square, Chapman bag).

I also like the "usual suspects" when it comes to grand hotels, bars, places (although I am a bit of a curious traveller, yet Europe-centric with some Caucasus and Middle East in the mix).

All these plain, bland, predictable things act as a backdrop, as a canvas for my thoughts, for me.

Re: Bluephobia, excluding navy blue

Not a chance with my missus, her maternal instincts are too strong to leave the kids. She was away on a course on Monday night, you would have thought she was going away for a tour of duty in the Syria on Sunday night!

My holidays and short breaks are divided between the all-inclusive family holiday experience and the water slides plus evening shows of Center Parcs.

Oh, love the boring grand hotels. Claridges, Ritz (all of them), Four Seasons in Hamburg and Munich, Beau Rivage. So boring, so well know, so not Igent.

Re: Bluephobia, excluding navy blue

Like a sublime restauant, a grand hotel should have the vibe of an event all in itself and that of existing outside of time, in a state of elegant and grand enchantment.

Re: Bluephobia, excluding navy blue

During a rather vivid dream brought on by a combination of noro virus and high strength fish oils.  I think ive married classic greek geometry,  bauhaus colour theory and western diatonic music..into a workable method..ill share mine findings here as we explore Beestons colours...   this could be it people..this could be the holygrail for sartorial autistic savants

Re: Bluephobia, excluding navy blue

So, navy blue and light blue (Hilditch & Key call it "ice") are fine. Cornflower, royal and the like = the works of the devil.
