Colour sites and tool roundup

A whole array of useful sites and tools for you today.

  • First off, this on line PHP script over at nickherman will generate a colour palette based on a given colour.
  • Colours on the web is a great site which also hosts a colour wizard which from the description sounds great, however failed to work for me with a handy Microsoft VB Script runtime error '800a0006' message. The text was also a little hard to read on the wizard page, but elsewhere the site had some great information
  • EasyRGB is a very handy site packed with utilities such as a color harmony generator and tint search engine
  • The online QuickColor tool generates a harmonised colour palette in real time….
  • As does this very good looking flash utility over at Defence Mechanism. This tool can generate random palettes for you, but doesn’t necessarily generate web-safe colours.
  • Finally, The Colour Schemer is a shareware app that also generates palettes, albeit as a desktop tool.

Note, applicable the spelling of colour from other sites has been retained :-)
