Just came across this colour tool and thought I'd share. It's really fun to play with, brings up some great colour scheme ideas, and teaches a little bit about colour theory at the same time! I like this one better than the Color Schemer Online. This one's lot more thorough and logical.

Fun!

That is a good one. I'm pretty sure I've used it on a site recently, though I can't remember for the life of me which site.

I found both of thoes sites with in 5 min of each other. But I think someone needs to design a pirfect tool for sampleing color schems.

Well, that's a tool I've known for about a year. I use it sometimes but sometimes it doesn't give what you expect... I think that the best is to watch others' sites and if you like the colours, simple use PrintScreen - maybe in future, the colour scheme will be useful Wink

Would work for personal sites but not really for professional sites because many times the customer already has a general idea for colors but you just need to add some accents.

Oh, cool, I didn't see the vision problem drop down before! That's a good one too.

I just like to use these to get ideas. They aren't always perfect but might come up with something you wouldn't have thought of on your own.
