Color Wheel
Someone at work just shared this site that has a pretty good color wheel.
It has lots of options, including samples of pages with he colors you are choosing and also filters for different vision problems like colorblindness.

My favorite color wheel is ColorJack.

These are nice!
My idea if a color is #FF0000 (or maybe #0f0)
a little off topic, perhaps you would enjoy my

Yeah, I started out way before Yahoo bought GeoCities - when I joined you actually explored a virtual neighborhood to find a vacant lot to build your site (how quaint) - I chose the Lakes district of SiliconValley and found a vacancy at #6131 - the URL still works: http://www.geocities.com/SiliconValley/Lakes/6131/
For ten years I "enjoyed" free hosting, adapting to various scripts that the admins added that broke mine - pure DHTML, no PHP, no MySQL - and when I finally filled the alloted space (10MB) I decided to grow up and get a "real" hosting plan...
But I am fond of GeoCities and I pushed the limits of client-side programming pretty far there...
Oh, and a designer friend once said, "... awful design like GeoCities ..."

Great find there Greg! That particular colour schemer has been around for years - around when I first started - but the link seems to change all the time.
Nice to see that it has found a home - hopefully

Cheers Greg, that adds a little more option to the one I have used for years. I rely on that as usually I just want a lighter or darker shade for borders etc, and the lighten/darken buttons are pretty useful.
Although, I usually have The Gimp open anyway, so often use the colour selector in that.

Wow, filtering for colorblindness, that is very high tech. I really like the color scheme designer, it's visual and interactive. I can never get comfortable with the color tables that have each color segmented by node, the colors should always be on a color wheel, in my opinion, where the color is a continuum, not a chart. Thanks for sharing.

Greg- that's a GREAT link, just wanted to say thanks for posting it. I have been using colorblender.com for a while, but was never really happy with it...it seemed to generate some fairly bizarre color combinations sometimes. Now I can clearly see I've been using the wrong tool all this time. I like that Color Scheme Designer a lot.

Hex colour finder is also a handy bit of kit, its a freeware program that you can use to eyedrop any colour from your desktop or browser and it returns the hex code for it and RGB code.

I am more of a soft and gentle colors.
I will definitely use these color schemes.
Thanks.

This is very useful for me. I really like this color wheel. With that wheel I can choose to many colours. and the options that provided in this wheel that mono, complement, triad, etc are very good for designers.
