Colourlovers is a site where I used to go for color palette inspiration, to look at color trends, and fab software- I bought their Seamless Studio program and their ColorSchemer program for work. If you use twitter, you might even use Themeleon (which I did until today), to customize a patterned background for your profile.

So when I saw that Shaun, their Creative Director, had tweeted this, I felt pretty strongly about telling both him and ColourLovers that I wouldn’t be using the site any more. My feelings on the matter are this: if I am AWARE of a company’s politics/policies (this includes beliefs advertised by the companies’ higher-ups, like Moynihan, in my opinion)- and I disagree vehemently with them, I’m going to do everything in my power to avoid giving that company more money. For example, I think that Dov Charney, CEO of American Apparel, is a skeezy mcskeezerson. As a result, I don’t buy anything from AA. Easy.
