Hit 50 custom palettes in a month and now I can't stop seeing orange

I took on a rush project for a local brewery in Denver last month, 50 label variations in 30 days. The client wanted bold clashes on every single one, and I thought I'd run out of ideas by number 20. But somewhere around palette 38, I started noticing how magenta and lime green actually balance each other when you flip the proportions. I'm not saying I loved them all, some of those combos should have stayed in the trash. But hitting that number made me question my whole rulebook on what clashes are 'safe'. The weird part is now I'll walk down the street and spot a storefront sign with orange and purple and think, yeah, that could work. Am I the only one who hits a milestone like that and suddenly sees color everywhere differently?

Ha, that's not really how color theory works, but I get the feeling!
