What can I say? I suck at choosing colours...
Show me a set of colours, and I'll tell you whether it looks good or
not. Show me a blank screen, and buggered if I can think of a set of
colours that might look good.
(I have the exact same problem with writing music, by the way. Show me a
piece of music, and I can tell you exactly why it's cool. But given a
blank score, I can't write something that sounds cool.)
