Tips from Idea15 Web Design

Last year I posted about my appreciation for Colourlovers, a resource which monitors colour trends.  The site’s members create patterns, palettes, and new colours purely for the love of the art.

I’m posting about it again out of sheer appreciation of the ability to go to the site to find a colour palette for a project, which you do by entering one or two of your ideal hues or colours.  You are given dozens of choices, all member-generated, and when you find the one you want, you can either download the palette directly to your choice of graphic design program (membership required) or download a simple “palette badge” to use manually (no membership required.)

If you’re a visual person like me, or if you were a kid like me who used to steal paint chips from the hardware store, spending some time on Colourlovers causes a bit of an endorphin release.  The members who make these palettes “just get it”, and you’ll feel in very good company.

I used this palette earlier this year in a project, with great results.

I’m trying to make this one work on a current project.   I do love a challenge…
