6 Color Scheme Tools
Here are some more useful sites that might get the color-savant in you worked up.
COLOURlovers
The biggest resource community for colour palettes as well as patterns. This is a personal favorite. I usually find patterns and palettes here for most of my works. If you’re lost at where you should go, you can always use the handy search bar where you can just type in a color and it will automatically give you nice palette for that color.
Kuler
From Adobe it pretty much works the same way as COLORlovers where you also create your own schemes or edit others accordingly. The landing page is also sleek and nice so finding your way around shouldn’t be that hard.
Colorotate
This site is a little more interactive and fun with the 3D elements. In addition there are few fun mixing/blending options. By the way, It uses Flash so iPad users or those with slow connection might want to stay away from it for now.
Color Scheme Designer
The Wheel! A great resource for creating schemes as well options for your monochromatic works. Technically a nice place to be at to unleash that color savant in you. Landing page Has donation stuff on it so you might want to skip that if you don’t want to.
Pictaculous
There are a few picture-to-colours applications but this is my favourite as, in my opinion, its most accurate. In addition to finding you colours from an image you’ve uploaded, it suggests other similar colour schemes from Colourlovers and Kuler. You can also download swatch files which I find useful.
Color Palette Generator (DeGraeve.com)
If you’re lazy or don’t have the image on your computer, this site lets you use URL’s instead.
