10 Tools to help you select a Web 2.0 Color Palette

 Well, another day and another entry in our WebBeasts.com blog. I'd be remiss if I did not admit that when it comes to designing any interface my biggest roadblock has got to be deciding on a color scheme. Whether it be a standalone application or a new web layout, I could come up with the best interface design but no one would care if the color scheme is reminiscent of the Denver Nuggets Road Jersey's worn from 1981-1985. View the disaster here

Luckily for me, there are a lot of helpful tools that can turn color coordination nightmares into a dream come true.  If you’re in the same boat as I am, have a look at some of these sites I unearthed from my bookmarks:

 

Kuler

 

ColourLovers

 

EasyRGB

 

ColorBlender

 

ColorJack

 

Steel Dolphin Color Theory

 

DeGraeve.com Color Palette from Image Generator

 

Color Schemer

 

Daily Color Scheme

 

Colr.org

 

The list is not too long, but really, how many different color resources do you need? My personal favorite is without a doubt Kuler. From a style standpoint, Kuler has really stood the test of time and the site layout is fantastic. I also really like the sites that allow people to submit their own color schemes and put together really comprehensive sets that include 5-10 different matching colors as well. These type of sites make it really easy to quickly choose one you like and incorporate it into your design immediately.

That's all for this post, check back next week when we take a look at the pros and cons of free lancing and some of the best places to seek work.
