ColourLovers For More Colors

Creating successful color schemes can be very tricky. Thankfully one of my favorite designer resources on color is here to help.

COLOURlovers™ is a great resource for designers and color users alike. They monitor and influence new color trends. COLOURlovers provides a place to check out a world of color, get color palette ideas, and read color related news, comments, and articles.

I like to use this site whenever I need a boost of color inspiration. I can start with a color I know I want (say blue) and then expand my color search using additional keywords such as: soft, vibrant, dark, ocean, beach, etc.. COLOURlovers™ will even allow you to start your search with specific color values and hexadecimal numbers like those typically used in web design. They give you plenty of tools and features to get the ideas rolling.

So next time you find yourself having a hard time creating a color scheme for your website design, check out COLOURlovers™ and find your inspiration.
