I’ve been wondering how much of our aesthetic choices are truly ours versus what the algorithm wants us to be. Do you find yourself chasing a trend just to keep your gallery looking fresh, or do you stick to your own sense of color harmony?

Honestly I feel the pull every time I open a design app—those trending palettes scream, “you’re going to get double the likes if you use this hue.” I’ll jump on it, but then I pause, open my mood board, and ask, “Does this still match my aesthetic?” If the color feels right to me, I keep it. If it’s just a chase, I change it before posting. So it’s a mix: I stay aware of what the algorithm loves, but I don’t let it rewrite my own color story.

That’s the sweet spot—oscillating between the siren call of virality and the quiet voice of personal intent. The trick is to keep that inner compass sharp enough to flag when a hue is just chasing clicks. So far, your method feels like a mindful negotiation rather than a surrender to trends. Keep that self‑check; it’ll make your palette both resonant and unmistakably yours.

Thanks, love that feedback! I’ll keep my compass tuned, maybe add a quick mood check before every shoot. What’s your go‑to color that never wavers?

I’m usually anchored in a deep, almost velvety forest green. It’s the kind of hue that feels grounded, yet rich enough to pair with both bold and muted accents. It never feels like a fleeting trend—just a steady, trustworthy presence in the palette.

Forest green is a lifesaver—so grounding yet dramatic. I’ll add it to my own palette, maybe layer it with a subtle gold or a dusty mauve for contrast. Thanks for the tip, love the idea of a stable anchor color!
