Color Scheme Generator updated

By Corrie Haffly | December 1, 2004 | CSS

The color-scheme generator that used to be at pixy.cz has been updated with a new version, now permanently housed at www.wellstyled.com/tools. I like it much better – it’s more intuitive, it looks cleaner, AND you can “save” or bookmark the color scheme with a URL!

The new interface gets rid of the confusing hue/saturation/brightness entry boxes and gives you some preset “variations” instead (pastel, dark pastel, etc.). The old dropdown menus and other form components have been replaced with slick graphics and DHTML features.

Re-experience the color scheme generator today!

If you need an instant answer – I would recommend to check Color palette generator at http://www.degraeve.com/color-palette/. This is useful for coming up with a website color palette that matches a key image that a client can work with.
I have generated a few color palettes and the results are pretty good.
You ca check them at http://www.featurepics.com/Editorial/Color-palette.aspx
Thank you very much for posting your link. It is how we learn from each other.

ZangBunny December 3, 2004 at 11:10 am: Note that the generator doesn’t seem to work correctly in Firefox. You need to use IE to get all the features.
