digital resources

Okay, so I feel stupid. I totally didn’t realize that the beta.dailycolorscheme.com site had not been updated in a couple of years. So, I got to looking around for other color scheme resources and found one that’s even better. Kuler.adobe.com comes from the Adobe labs and you can use your Adobe login to access the goods. The tools allow you to see saved color schemes that folks have built, or you can build your own. The tools are easy to use and let you build colors schemes based on the analogous, monochromatic, triad, compound, and shades rules.

So, if you are like me, you sold your $80 color theory book back to the book store for $10 so that you could get a brew. Well, unfortunate for you and me, that book was full of great information and might be useful to you now. Don’t go spend another 80 bones. Information like this is now on the internet. worqx.com is Janet Ford’s personal site and on it she has some color theory basics, including color wheel examples and some color picking basics. So, if you don’t find a great color scheme from the post that I did earlier, you can create your own.

Color is your friend, well most of the time. On occasion I find myself stuck trying to pick out colors or worse, regurgitating the same color schemes over and over again. Well, good thing there are sites like beta.dailycolorscheme.com. These guys go above and beyond by offering the colors scheme for download in many formats, displaying the color in code (hex, rgb, hsb), offering RSS feeds, social bookmarking and even color schemes in your email. WOW! Basically there is no excuse to not get your color schemes.
