Color Schemes


If you are looking for color inspiration check out Kuler from Adobe. It is a web-hosted application for generating color themes. You can focus on a particular color range and as you change other colors, Kuler adjusts to make sure all of your colors are working together. This would be a great way to experiment when you feel like your project needs a pop of color, or when you need to introduce something new into your composition. You can make a free account and save the color schemes you have created or explore color schemes that other users have created.
