Color Pallet tool to help you with your color selections

[brienicole]

I love playing around on this site and thought you all may find it useful or fun. http://www.colourlovers.com/palettes You can click on any of the thousands of pallets and see what they look like as patterns, find the hex and rgb as well as paint colors for them and favorite them. Have fun!

Ha that is like a total rip of Adobe's Kuler. http://kuler.adobe.com
The cool thing about kuler is you can export your selections to a .aco (I think?!) swatch file and then import that right into photoshop. + this one just looks better even though its flash...

I do like the patterns option that http://www.colourlovers.com has though. I wouldn't use most of theirs cuz they are so crazy but its cool they have it.

Also, another one I like to use that is more of a do it yourself one-color-at-a-time is http://colllor.com/

Interesting. My personal favorite color mixer is Color Scheme Designer. I like the interface, the sheer amount of export options (HTML+CSS, XML, ACO, etc), saturation and contrast controls, page examples, and the colorblind views.

Kuler has some pretty awesome premixed palettes and Colour Lovers has some neat premixed patters.

To each his own and I'm glad we have all these options.
