There are actually some very attractive color schemes you have there but im not sure all of them would transfer well to other applications.. You obviously have a good eye for choosing the best color combinations from an image or do you use some kind of software?

Good post. You make some great points that most people do not fully understand.

"The funny thing about inspiration is that you never know when it’s going to hit you. I happened to be trying to come up with a color scheme for a site I was designing, and after about an hour of disasters, I saw the London Calling album sitting on my desk, and knew those were the colors I wanted."

I like how you explained that. Very helpful. Thanks.

Perhaps you should retitle this article "here are some nice colours I've picked from some pictures".

I think you've chosen nice colour combinations, but they're not representative of the artwork. You've missed important colours like the purple in 'astral weeks', or the brown/yellow in 'thriller'

Okay, fine, you've given yourself a limit of five colours, but wouldn't it be better to suggest that if a picture is appealing, then probably it has a nice colour palette? One that you can take advantage of with photoshop's colour picker (or equivalent)?
