popthemes

What?

This is a collection of colour palettes based (mainly) on pop album covers.

Featuring:

• Aqua (Barbie Girl)
• Bangles (In Your Room)
• Beck (Midnite Vultures)
• Betty Boo (Where Are You Baby)
• B*Witched
• Deee Lite (Groove is in the Heart)
• Kelly Clarkson (All I Ever Wanted)
• No Doubt Tragic Kingdom
• Rick Astley Never Gonna Give You Up (Remix)
• S Club 7 (S Club)
• Spice Girls (Spice Up Your Life)
• Steps (Step One)

Why?

Because I’ve done Metallica and classic rock.

The rockthemes has some pop acts featured in it as well, including No Doubt and DeeeLite. They’re included here - and the palettes have been tweaked slightly.
