I'm hoping someone can suggest what colours to use, for a surprise mini album I'm making for my son and dil of their two daughters?

It's my second album, putting together photos of the girls from the past year. Last year's album wasn't a problem as I used girly colours on the pages.

This year I'm scrapping them as 2 & 11yr olds. The problem is pastel colours will suit the little ones' photos, but not that of her older sister who's now into wearing dark, gothicy colours...and vice versa. I can't think of a happy medium between soft pastels and the deep, rich colours.

I don't want to use white as the main colour, as it'll get handled a lot. Black I think will be too heavy.

I did think of printing off the photos in blck/wht but would that make the pages too 'flat', plus I'm still stuck at what basic colours to use.

Any ideas anyone? x
