Hi Creative Review.

Let me get the opportunity to compliment your blog. I read your posts ALOT!! THANX!

And from a creative perspective I really like the design of Own a Colour. When that is said isn't it sad that they didn't put there creativity into a campaign with more substance. I write a blog that takes of issues of sustainability and third world countries and you inspired me to write a post to day. Thanx!

Regarding Iben's comments, I think there's a time and a place for substance.

Since when has substance got the worlds creative community reaching for their wallets? Now, give them the opportunity to 'own' a colour for a few quid, and watch the ensuing stampede.

It works.

I think this is a brilliant idea, literally. Color does deed have a powerful presence in our lives. What a wonderful way to support a very worthwhile charity. I will definitely lend my support through posting a blog on Eisemancolorblog.com

Well I've just bagged Gracie Pink. I'd love to see more ideas like this.

Astoundingly simple idea. Love it.
I did momentarily start to hyperventilate with which colour choice to go with though...

This is a rehash of milliondollarwebsite - but looks way better and is for a good cause. I love the way the colours are ordered, and triangle shapes fitting into a mesh is much more interesting than blocks.

This comment box is trying to suggest English spelling of the word colour is incorrect. :-) Couldn't resist writing it again given the title of this post, and that this is a English magazine — no?

@Feed - This is a very good HTML5 site, great work! I'll be watching you chaps.

@Rich Brown - that's very lucky and kinda funny. I really liked your eat local concept. You must add social sharing buttons to your site so people can see it.
