Colour Inspiration

Every now and then I need to come up with a new colour scheme for a website. Normally I have an idea or concept and can run with it, but sometimes I get stumped.

It’s at times like this that I pull up my trusty del.icio.us account and click on my “inspiration” tag to present the following three sites on my screen. They almost always give me a jump start, and while I rarely actually use the colour sets they have created, it gives me a chance to think outside of my comfort zone.

• Kuler
  kuler helps you explore, create and share color themes for your creative projects. Use it as an on-line application or download themes to use with Adobe Create Suite 2 applications.
• Daily Color Scheme
  dailycolorscheme.com is your daily color resource. A new scheme every day, with lots of schemes in the archive.
• Colr
  This site isn’t as slick looking as the other two but it allows you to tag colours and submit to them with RSS feeds.

• Well it seems that I was wrong
• Razz My Berries!!
• I forgot to mention…
• Very nerdy day
