welian's awesome list of color resources
Hey, fellow nerds! Below is a list of sites I use when picking out colors for post layouts, artwork, and typographic work. I figured I'd go trawling my browsing history and put together some of the things I use.
DeGraeve's Color Palette Generator
My main source, you put in the URL of an image and it spits out a muted and a bright palette based on the colors in the image.
Color Me Curious
A Tumblr blog of user-submitted palettes. The quality varies, but it's a good blog to follow if you're into palette challenges.
Adobe Color CC (wheel)
All hail Adobe, the slavemaster of our artistic souls. This page has a color wheel and various settings and sliders to allow you to toy around and create your own color palettes.
Adobe Color CC (explore)
This page is similar to the Color Me Curious blog - it's all the palettes that have been saved and submitted to Adobe Color. You can sort by popularity and by keyword. You can also select a palette and edit your own copy of it in the wheel if you want to tweak it.
Web Safe Color
A very simple site that shows all 256 web-safe colors, perfect for pixel art palettes. The drop-down menu in the upper right allows you to view different sets of colors.
ColorHexa
Input a hex or rgb code (or even a name) for a color, and it will bring up information on that color including a description, similar alternative colors, and suggested color schemes.
I'll add more to this list as I come across stuff in the future.
