Web Color Tools Round-up

A friend recently asked me for my favorite color picker tool so I thought I’d go ahead and compile them here plus some sites I use for color inspiration. Want more? Check out my delicious collection of webcolor links.

  • Adobe’s Kuler Browse color pallets or make your own from flickr photos!

  • Kris’s Color Stripes This blog is completely dedicated to making color palettes out of beautiful photographs and is great for anyone seeking inspiration or eye candy.color stripes blog
  • Color Blender This tool that lets you set a color and it suggests complementary colors to fill out your palette.color blender
  • Color Jack I just discovered this one and I think it’s super. Choose a point on the color wheel and it will show you different color combinations (complementary, analogous, etc.) to go with it.

  • The Daily Slurp Enter a couple of colors to view a showcase of other websites sporting those colors.Daily Slurp

    The palette generators would be great if they also collected and displayed the relative volume of one color to an other in the source image. The way colors are composed has an impact on how a palette works.

    Slurp seems to do exactly that.
