I am the sort of person who, when asked "what's your favourite colour", responds "combinations of them". So when I discovered COLOURlovers, a website centered on designing colour palettes, I knew I'd met my people. It's an inane if low-maintenance hobby, and it channels my "ooh, pretty!" instincts pretty well in a money free sort of way.

So, I present to you, the characters of Torchwood (and Doctor Who), as I see them in colour palettes. Some are more literal, like Ten's, Ianto's, and Jack's, whereas others, like Gwen and Owen, are a little more abstract. Let me know if you see them the same or differently - I love knowing how people associate colour with abstract ideas. Let's get synesthetic!
