I used the pattern below as an inspiration for my color scheme because of tall of the different colors and patterns within the picture. This pattern has a variety of different tints and shades of different blues, greens and reds. With these three colors as the primary base of the pattern shown in the image, there can be several different shades created which can lead to a whole different color scheme pattern. 

Below is my Swatch Grid and my name plates that I have used to illustrate my color scheme. Completing this task let me play around with some new tools in Indesign. I used the rectangle/square tool to create the grid and name plates themselves. To create the new tints and shades, I used the new tint tab in the swatches panel which enables you to make several various shades of your liking. I enjoyed this process because there was a lot of freedom when it came to picking your colors and creating your new shades in order to form your color scheme.
