First, my qualifications...
1. When walking through neighborhoods in San Francisco, I critique
houses according to their paint schemes; I hate my grey house; and I
painted my kitchen in Neapolitan Ice Cream colors. :-)

2. I've read Robin Williams' books on type, layour and design. I
understand and apply her four basic design principles, C. R. A. P.:
Contrast, Repetition, Alignment, and Proximity. I understand the
difference between Contrast and Conflict.


Trust me ... that's not contrast, that's conflict. Not just in paint
schemes but in bike styles. I think the only way you can get away with
riding together is for both of you to wear Aerostich Radioactive Mr.
Smithers suits. }: )
