Some of my clothes doesn't have a dominant colour. But some of my colour-mixing is completely off the wall. I don't wear two different coloured items, like, ever. But I'm willing to do some wack-job stuff every now and again in just the one garment.
Basically, if I had to colour-sort something striped with two even weight stripes my brain would just fritz.
Oh, and I separate krav stuff from non-krav exercise stuff from other casual knits, and casual knits are sorted by sleeve length. Which seemed important at the time.
But since colour for me is "wear with black" or "black" further sorting is not required.

While mine isn't that big or that neat, I do organize my clothes by type (pants, shirts, skirts, dresses) and color. I realize I may have Issues.
Me too. Shirts are further divided into sleeveless, short sleeve, and long sleeve, and arranged by color within each category.
Wow. My clothes are pretty much shoved in there at random, with the things I wear more in the middle....
What Jesse said. I kind of shove pants and stuff to one side and shirts to the other, but that doesn't really last very long.
Wow, I just a gorgeous book on the San Francisco Golden Gate International Exposition (1939-1940) that you can read online with all it's lovely photographs.
This was the exhibition on Treasure Island where they built an Art Deco wonderland.
I just did a quick rough costing out of blinds for the new house. Close to $2K! Good gravey.
My apartment has two huge closets (well, huge by my standards -- much smaller than the ones in that picture), and very little floor space for a dresser. Every dorm room I had in college was the same -- lots of closet space, not much folding storage space. I got in the habit of hanging up pretty much everything except underwear and pajamas, and once I'm hanging things up anyway, it's not any more difficult to make it organized.
Maybe you should go for the vinyl blinds instead of the SOLID PLATINUM ones.
msbelle, a friend of mine in Columbus lamented about the cost of blinds for their new house. I think they ended up spending close to $5K--it was a big house but they weren't fancy blinds or anything. I replaced two of ours recently and it was over $150. I'm dreading the replacements needed for the kids' rooms.
