great idea, Michelle! I have been using Color Scheme Designer for over 2 years LOL LOVE it! I also love how, after I have my colors picked, I can hit the html/css link and get a page with everything I need ;) comes in handy when designing for clients. I just add it to their file ;)
When I have time (what is that??? LOL) I am going to play with the other suggestions ;) got them book marked! woot!
Extra time? Where, where?! LOL
Isn’t that one cool? It makes it so easy to choose colors that go together beautifully.
did i hear extra time?
a plugin for wordpress maybe?
i love the color scheme designer
has helped me with my forum :)
i will try the other suggestions as well – especially the wordpress theme generator
wonderful suggestions michelle – tweeted :)
Everyone’s looking for that “extra time” solution. :)
Thanks for the tweet!
This is so totally awesome, i was just looking for editors to replace photoshop that i can “take anywhere” typa thing, so you made my day thank you!
You’re welcome, Ella. These are great for that. :)
hmmm … maybe we can come up with a WP plugin :) “Extra Time — Click here when needed.” Make some outrageous looking button that shows up in a widget! mmuuhahaha
Now that could be fun. :)

I love color lovers. They have many great tools you can use to pick color schemes. Including one that builds palettes from photos. You can also browse patterns by colors or hexidecimal code. A lot of graphic designers hang out around there so there are many color inspirations to find. They also have a great blog that I love reading.
That’s awesome, Susan. I love the photo option. Thanks so much for sharing it. :)
Cool! I will try the random button! This could be of help, as I also don’t know a lot about using Photoshop. This, however, sounds like an excellent alternative to it. Thanks for the idea, Michelle, it is appreciated!
You’re welcome, Eleonora. I love these as alternatives to Photoshop and find I can do most any graphics work I need to for my websites or programs using them.
You’re helped me :)
Great! :)
