I was surprised (but pleased) to see the image I made with the Sherwin Williams app here on Apartment Therapy. I really enjoy your site. I appreciate that you attributed the image to my blog, but the original image analyzed was found on the New York Public Library's site here (which I had linked to on my blog).

In the post where I showed the colors -

DesignSeeds has some good points about copyright infringement, and as an artist I want to work hard to not infringe on other artist's or designer's work. My purpose in sharing the image was to show how I could create a room to get the feeling of that vintage seed poster graphic. Sherwin Williams should reprogram this app so that it retains the link to the original image source as Pinterest does.

Food for thought - the digital world is both a boon and a danger to original content. I usually choose to see the boon part, but we should work to be sure we're not stealing from others.
