How do you choose your design colors?
I get asked that question so often that I decided to answer it on my blog. Color inspiration comes from so many sources. It could be my favorite piece of clothing, a photo I like, pictures in magazines, artwork or anything that has color. When I am really stumped I often go to the COLOURlovers website.
COLOURlovers helps you find a color or even a color palette, to use when designing. The colors are created by the users of the site. You can also find articles about color and color trends.
Check out two color palettes that I have created on COLOURlovers…
You might also want to check out ColorSchemer. This is a great software for creating colors and color palettes. They have a trial version so you can try it out.
Another website I use to make color palettes is Color Scheme Designer 3. I like to use it when I am considering using triad or tetrad color schemes. It makes it very easy to come up with colors using these techniques. Also you can also see what it would look like on a website.
