Kuler from Adobe Labs
{ November 27th, 2006 }
This a neat tool that alot of our users and readers may dig.It’s called Kuler. Here is the description from their site: Kuler is brand new from Adobe labs, kuler helps you explore, create and share color themes for your web pages, design projects and other creative work.
I think this is a nifty tool for your utility belt. I find a lot of designs are looking the same..and a lot of times we don’t even realize it but what separates a good design that gets people’s attention in a positive way, is usually because it involves a new color scheme that people aren’t used to seeing but find aesthetically pleasing.
There are a few other tools that do this to some degree but 2 things make this stand apart. Firstly, with other color scheme sites you have to save the image or record the hex values or use your own eyedropper to use the color scheme. With kuler you can download directly as a swatch to illustrator. Secondly, you can create your own theme and share it with the community. Others can comment on your theme and you can comment on theirs etc.
Sometimes what makes nice photos of nature is the natural use of colors together. I may start taking photos of nice scenes and making a color theme out of what I see.

Have fun,
