Re: Color Palette

Incorporating appropriate color on a book cover is important. It's just one way of letter potential readers know what the story is about. I stumbled across "Tips for Choosing Book Cover Colors" at SelfPublishingHouse.com (http://www.selfpublishinghouse.com/book-cover-colors.html). They provide 18 categories of books and colors affiliated with each. A few examples:

CLASSY

Black, Gold, Tan, Purple

Rust or Maroon + Black, Blue

Sage + Black, Mustard, Orange, Red

EXCITING
