Call for help!

Back to the note of experimentation..
I WOULD LIKE YOUR HELP!
Here's what I'm thinking. I need to do some studies. Fairly concrete color/value study type things, SO, this is what I would like.
Please post in this thread and give me:
a) A subject. This should be something real, that I can either observe directly or find good reference for online. Anything ranging from "that can of mountain dew on your desk" to "a busy intersection"
b) A color palette. I need to learn to work with what I got. The photoshop color picker is too... perfect? It's too easy to just go "MAKE IT DARKER" instead of working with different colors and how they interact and so forth. Keep these fairly simple, anywhere from 3-6 colors. Other than that, no restrictions! If it's not too much trouble, I'd prefer actual color values rather than just color names, so there's less open to interperetation. Here's a nifty little site where you can put them together:

THE CATCH: Once everyone's responded, I'm going to randomly pick a number of subjects, and then randomly assign a palette to each one. So don't bother creating a palette to go with a particular subject. I think it will be really interesting to try and make something look familiar with a palette that is potentially completely unintuitive.
That's all! Thanks guys!
