I've used Blends to create color palettes although not my preferred method to create palettes in Illustrator, I found this very interesting. I had some elements already created so I took those elements and put them into a collection and recolored them. I also created a color palette that I probably wouldn't create using my usual method for a bit of a challenge. I think the colors in the palette does work and play well with each other.  I can see myself using this method a bit more in the future as this a palette would have been much harder create using my usual method. 

I've included some of the elements in the original colors before they were recolored and an overview of the new color palette I created.  Thank you for the class. It was informative and delightful.
