Quick Tip for the Week

April 29, 2009

If you’ve ever struggled to find the perfect color palette for your web site, banner ad or other digital property, then you’ll appreciate the Color Scheme Designer.

 This handy online application puts the rainbow at your fingertips. Just select your favorite color and let it recommend a complimentary color palette for you.

Once you’ve settled on a color scheme, you can do a number of things:

* Click the light page or dark page buttons to see your palette in action

* Turn on the text option to see how black type looks against the various colors

* Find the RGB value for any color – your designer will love this

* Share the Scheme ID # – this lets you show the exact color palette as you’ve designed it with anyone else on the web. You’ll find this unique ID in the upper right corner, just under the palette

By way of example, check out the palette I’ve pulled together in honor of spring. When you click through to the Color Scheme Designer website, be sure to check out all the palette options in the upper left corner.
