The Not-So-Haunted House - colour pallet



This week I've been playing with different colour pallets for my story 'The Not-So-Haunted House'. I'm in the process of re-writing it at the moment, (with a little help from one of my tutors from the MA course, he's really helping sort out the narrative), I just need to decide how the whole thing is going to look and feel. Rosie, the protagonist, is frightened of the appearance of the house at first. But her mother reassures her there is nothing to be frightened of, and begins to point out the charm of the house. So it needs to work both as scary, and charming. 

At first, she may just see the shadows that the house creates, but when her mother reveals what the objects are that are creating the shadows (little birds on the roof, squirrels in the trees, a delightful postbox), she begins too rest at ease. Well, until she enters the house that is...

So, I need the pallet to work well as a shadow effect as there's going to be a lot of them.
