Adobe Kuler - Color Scheme Resource

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.

Whatis?com

No, thats not a typo above, though it does still work if you type it in your browser that way.  Whatis?com has a file extension list to assist us when we get an file from someone with say a .KIZ (digital postcard - kodak) file extension.  This list does fall a little short since it does not tell you where to find a program to read the file.  But, it does quickly tell me what the file format is and I guess I can Google for programs from there.  So there it is, not ground breaking but certainly useful.
