Just realized my 'bold' palettes were actually just loud and clashing after a client in Chicago called them 'visually aggressive'.
Now I start with a single base color from a photo or fabric swatch and build out from there, so has anyone else had a client totally reframe how you approach color balance?

That "anxious" comment is a great way to put it. I took the 60-30-10 rule a step further and now I literally squint at my screen. If one color jumps out too much when everything's blurry, I know it's the anxious part that needs to be toned down.

A client in Portland once told me my colors felt "anxious." I started using a 60-30-10 rule as a gut check, and it honestly saved me from myself.
