Thanks for your feedback, Mathias :) I see what you mean. I think I still prefer my colour palette (I wanted that autumninal look for this one). I agree though about the contrast/brightness, it definately is something I can improve on as you can see from you example below :) Your want really pops :) I'll post an update this evening :)

Attractive.

But I think your palette is in serious need of improvement. What I see here is dark and muddy. In fact, that was my very first thought when I viewed this.

Thanks Mandrill :)

Ahhh, I remember that little chappy.

Very harmonious colours! Excellent mock-up.
