Navigating the world of color can be difficult at times. So many choices. So many directions to go. Here are three websites with applications and tools that can help you sort through the myriad of directions you could go when trying to decide the right scheme for a particular project.
Adobe Kuler Interface
First up is Adobe Kuler, an excellent web application that lets you create palettes, choose palettes from their community, and has a handful of links that provide some good references to color usage. Second in the lineup is a site called Colour Lovers. Colour Lovers offers a wide array of methods to select colors, create / browse palettes, and tools to help you along your chromatic journey.
Finally there is Pantone’s myPantone, a place where you can access Pantone’s various apps, help center, and color community. These sites represent a drop in the bucket, the tip of the iceberg of what’s out there to help you in your quest for perfect color schemes and immaculate color implementation. You could always go old school with one of the these if you don’t have one.■
